a little humor and for those with none, please press next now.
a big analyst called idtc hq and wanted to talk to the cfo directly after missing earnings. He thought he had dialed cfo's phone number and was greeted with a whispered, "Hello?" Even this was strange by idt standards.
Feeling put out at the inconvenience of having to talk to a whispering person, "Is stephen brown, cfo there?"
"Yes", whispered the voice.
"May I talk with him?" the man asked. To the surprise of the analyst, the voice whispered, "No."
Wanting to talk with someone, the analyst asked, "Is your howard Jonas there?"
"Yes", came the answer. "May I talk with him?" Again the voice
whispered, "no".
"Is there any one there besides you?" the analyst asked.
"Yes" whispered the man, "A policeman".
Wondering what a cop would be doing there, the analyst asked, "May I speak with the policeman"?
"No, he's busy", whispered the voice.
"Busy doing what?, asked the analyst. "Talking to Howard and howard balter and the
Fireman", came the whispered answer.
Growing concerned and even worried as he heard what sounded like a
helicopter through the ear piece on the phone the analyst asked, "What is that noise?"
"A hello-copper", answered the whispering voice.
"What is going on there?", asked the analyst, now alarmed.
In an awed whispering voice answered, "The search team just
landed the hello-copper"
Alarmed, concerned and more than just a little frustrated the analyst
asked, "Why are they there"?
Still whispering, the voice replied along with a muffled giggle:
"They're looking for me," the cfo replied.
