- I got a call once for "Bob". I told the caller he had a wrong number and
- hung up. A moment later the phone rang again, and I asked a female friend
- to answer it. "Tell them he's dead", I said. "Huh?", she replied as she
- picked it up. Then she understood. "I'm so sorry, but, well, Bob's dead."
- She said he believed it for about 30 seconds. He was pretty cool about it,
- and invited us to the party he was inviting Bob to.
