My wife is secretary to the chair of Anthropology at the University of
Toronto. On a regular basis she has some very odd phone conversations.
The following two come from this morning.
First Call:
Caller: I'm calling because I've discovered some very precious stones
that are worth a million dollars, at a site in Northern Ontario.
Lori: Oh, wonderful. Um so why are you calling here?
Caller: I'm just wondering if the University would like to send out a
team to the site to find more.
Lori: Oh, Ok. Well let me give you the phone number of our Assoc. Chair,
who is also an Archaeologist. I'm sure he'd love to chat with you about
this.
Caller: OK, thank you
Second Call:
Caller: Oh, hello, I'd like to know about the results of the dig in
Cuba.
Lori: Uh, what dig?
Caller: Well I read about it in a book.
Lori: Were any of our faculty involved? Did the team come out of U of T?
Caller: Well I don't know
Lori: Have you tried contacting the author of the book?
Caller: Well it's a very old book. I've tried contacting the embassy
and the library, but they don't have any information.
Lori: OK, well we don't have Archaeologists who dig in Cuba , but I'll
let you talk to our Assoc. Chair, who is also an Archaeologist.
Caller: OK, that would be lovely
Sincerely,
Phil Enns
