Damned blocked calls
New policy at the apartment: all blocked calls shall be routed through to Jack, if available. Policy's effective date: May 31st, 2003.
About twenty minutes ago my cousin called, asking to speak to Jack. Unfortunately, I didn't have the page loaded so I answered myself (and I could see it was her number on the call display, so I would have answered myself anyway). But her call reminded me that Jack hasn't been able to answer the phone in quite a while now, so maybe it's time to give him a chance. He didn't have to wait long. Just five minutes later, someone with a blocked number called.
Jack: Hello?
Man: Hi, is Crystal White there?
Jack: No.
Man: Is this her house?
Jack: Yes.
Man: And she's not home?
Jack: That's correct.
Man: Uh, okay..
Jack: You have the luxury of not knowing what I know.
Man: What?
Jack: I beg your pardon?
Man: Is this 383.88**?
Jack: That's correct.
Man: I must have the wrong number.
Jack: No.
Man: (mutters)
Jack: So be it. Dismissed.

Strange guy. Jack clearly stated that Crystal lived here but wasn't home. All the guy had to do was ask to leave a message and Jack would have said "Yes." I just know it.
