The father replied It is mostly a matter of degree Let me show you what I mean With that the father went to the telephone and dialed a number at random To the man who answered the phone he said Hello is Joe there? The man answered There is no one living here named Joe Why don t you learn to look up numbers before you dial them? See said the father to his daughter That man was not a bit happy with our call He was probably very busy with something and we annoyed him Now watch The father dialed the number again Hello is Joe there? asked the father Now look herel came the heated reply You just called this number and I told you that there is no Joe here You ve got a lot of nerve calling againl The receiver slammed down hard The father turned to his daughter and said You see that was anger Now I 11 show you what exasperation means He again dialed the same number and when a violent voice roared Hello the father calmly said Hello this is Joe Have there been any calls for me?
