I Hapless homemaker
Rai ndrops keep fouling up her phone
X
I
I have a fair weather telephone it only works when the
sunshines.
As anyone who has lived here more than a week knows,
my phone will be inoperable until next July when the rain
quits
My telephone line, like a cheap raincoat, is no longer
waterproof The slightest drop of moisture and Niagara
roars in my ear I catch about every third word. Since the
party on the other end can’t hear the roar we have odd
one-way conversations
property could land me in jail with the right to only one
phone call.
I ’ll accept that offer if they can promise me a noise-
free connection
Just in case, I call my attorney: “ Help, I ’m trapped in
suburbia without a phone and I ’ve worn out two hockey
sticks.”
“ Don’t worry,” he says, “ I'll write the phone company
and demand they bring you a new stick.”
At least I think that’s what he said.
Finally a repairman comes and says they’ll fix my
phone sometime between next week and eternity.
“ In the meantime,” he advises, “ it might help to hit the
line with a stick Just don’t miss and hit the electric line.”
On rainy days my neighbors watch me slog out to the
phone line and beat it furiously with a hockey stick.
“ Nice form,” comments my neighbor who suggests
that if I break the line the phone company would be
obligated to fix it.
The phone company advises that destruction of their
“ What noise, lady?” says the man I calk'd at the
telephone company I couldn’t hear when he promised to
send a repairman
loiter when the doctor called, I missed the part where he
said the capsules were to be inserted instead of taken by
mouth
My rriother responds to my calls by blasting a police
whistle My brother gave up trying to talk and promised to
write which is about as likely as his turning up at the front
door selling Avon.
