An old geezer is talking long-distance to New York when he suddenly gets cut off. "Operator," he screams, "gimme back the party!!!"

The Lady operator replies, "Sir, I'm sorry but you'll have to make your call over again. Technical issues you see."

He says, "Technobabble, schmable. Give me back the damn party!"

She says, "I'm sorry sir, you'll have to place the call again."

He says, "Operator, ya know what? Take the telephone and shove it where the sun don't shine!" He then hangs up.

A couple of days later, he hears a hefty knock on his door, goes to answer it and standing there are 2 strapping fellas who say, "We're here to take your telephone out."

He says, "What??? Why?"

They say, "Because you insulted Operator 35 two days ago. But if you'd like to call up and apologize, we'll leave the telephone here."

He says, "Hold on a minute. What's the rush, what's the hurry?"

He goes to the telephone and dials. "Hello, gimme operator 35, and make it pronto...Hi, operator 35? Remember me. Two days ago I insulted you?...Yeah, I told you to take the telephone and shove it where the sun don't shine???"

She says, "Yes, I remember..."

He says, "Well, get ready -- cos they're bringin' it to ya!!!"
