Ask Her To Stop Paging Me

Ask Her to Stop Paging MeOne guy who works in the customer service call center of a national pager

company. He deals with the usual complaints regarding poor pager

operation, as well as the occasional crank caller demanding to be paged

less often, more often, or by more interesting people.

The best call came from a man who repeatedly complained that he keeps being

paged by "Lucille." He was instructed that he would have to call her and

tell her to stop paging him.

"She don't never leave no number, so I can't call her back," he said.

After three such calls, someone thought to ask how he knew it was Lucille

if she didn't leave a number.

"She leaves her name," was the reply.

After establishing that the customer had a numeric-only pager, the light

bulb came on.

"How does she spell her name?" the service rep asked.

"L-O-W C-E-L-L."
