"Big trouble"
Late one Saturday evening, I was awakened by the ringing of the telephone. In a sleepy, grumpy voice I said "Hello?"
There was a momentary pause before the young lady on the other end of the line rushed breathlessly into a lengthy speech.
"Dad, this is Susan and I'm sorry I woke you up, but I had to call because
I'm going to be a little late getting home. See, your car has a flat, but it's not my fault. Honest! I don't know what happened. The tire just went flat while we were inside the theatre. Please don't be mad, OK?"
As I don't have a daughter named Susan, I knew the young lady had made a mistake.
"I'm sorry, dear," I said, "but you've reached the wrong number. I don't have a daughter named Susan."
A pause.
"Oh, Dad," came the young woman's reply, "I didn't think you'd be THIS mad!"
