Brenda Calls a Familiar Phone Number

She got a pair of pantyhose from her special pantyhose drawer and put her cell phone in the foot part of a pair, then rolled up the whole leg around the phone. This was to disguise her voice, but it made dialing hard to do.

Someone answered the phone at her work number. “Yes! Hello,” said Brenda, in a low, breathy manner. “How are you today?”

“F-fine,” replied the strange woman on the other end of the line. “May I help you?”

“Yes, I think you may, ma’am,” husked Brenda. “May I please speak to Miss Brenda Trablipocris. I understand this is her business telephone number, and I wish to speak to her.”

“Miss Trablipocris doesn’t work here any more. Sorry, lady,” said the lady. Then, she hung up.

”’Sorry lady!’” said Miss Trablipocris, forgetting to change from her disguised voice. “That woman has no business on a telephone!”
