- Big problem?
- Didn’t know yet. But I told Charlie – that’s my mechanic – that I’d go down to the bagel store while he checked out the problem, and catch up on some of my work.
- And he’d call you when he was done.
- Well, there’s the problem. I forgot to bring my cell phone.
- So what did you do?
- I told him I'd be back in about an hour. But two hours went by, and I was deep in some project, and I didn't check my watch. . .
- So what happened next?
- The owner of the bagel shop yelled from the counter, "Is there anyone here expecting a call from Local Garage?"
- How mortified were you?
- I don't forget my cell phone anymore.
- Do you remember to turn it on?
- . . .
