I pick up a 'phone that's ringing unattended.
"Can I speak to T.Aldous please?"
"I'm sorry, he retired last month."
"But he just rang, leaving a message asking to ring him back."
"Ooh. I wonder if the Communications Team are still having problems with the response times on the voice over internet telephones."

Sometimes one has to give in to temptation.
Tales from the Haunted Library?
Pat's right, I bet it felt good, right? Tee Hee!
Those phonecalls are clearly being delivered by satelite telecoms via Alpha Centauri. You can only hope it's T.Aldous's very last throw of the dice.
Pat: I expect I'll get my comeuppance.
geraldgee: that's a thought, we could say we're haunted... There's tourist income to be made!
Happy Frog and you: well...
Gadjo: oh no! It's not God playing dice with the universe, it's T.Aldous
Aaaaargh! And well done! :)
