Do telephones distort the truth or give glimpses into reality. Too many times I have been called "Miss" on the phone. Have you?

"Hello, Parker residence Joey speaking." I said into the phone.
"Um, uh, can I talk to your daddy?" was the reply.
"Can I ask who's calling?" I replied, grimacing at the phone.
"Uh, he may not remember me, I'm an old friend of his." The voice said guardedly. "Mark Watson."
"Just a moment." I put my hand over the receiver and called out "DAD! PHONE!"
He came into the room and took the phone from me and said into it "Hello?"
"Uh, John, Mark Watson here, I don't know if you remember me but.........."
"Ok, see you then." Dad said as he hung up the phone. Turning he said, "Old college friend of mine coming into town the weekend and wants to take me and MY daughter to diner." He smiled slyly.
I gulped and shook my head.
