A Corry PA phone story

My parents phone has been disconnected for a couple of days. We talk at least three times a week on the phone and chit~chat about what has been going on. Knowing this, my mom sends me this email about a conversation that my dad had with the phone company concerning why they did not show up. Here is a synopsis. This is classic:

Our phones have been out since Thursday and we don't know why. The phone company was supposed to have them fixed by today but never showed up.

When your dad went to Preston's and called them, they said they were trying to call us to tell us they couldn't come today.

Dad said how can you call when we don't have any phones!

They didn't have an answer to that.
