Paging...

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

So I’m working a very dull job. It’s just temporary, since I have one lined up to start in a few weeks, but this is keeping me busy for now. But it’s so dull, my imagination is working overtime while I do it.

For example, today there was a page on the company PA that went something like this: “John Smith, call line 57. John, line 57, please.” And I got to wondering who else could be paged, and what line they would pick up. For example,

Maxwell Smart, call on 86.
Miss September, call 36-24-36.
Satan, line 666, please.
Nathan Detroit, line 8 the hard way.

So who else could be paged, and for what line?

2

Colonel Sanders, Line 11
John Cage, Line 422
Cheech Marin, Line 420
Henry Heinz, Line 57
Baskin Robbin, Line 31

3

Shouldn’t that be line 433?

4

Tommy Tutone at 867-5309

Oh, and 333 gets you the line for the demi-christ.

5

Douglas Adams, call for you on line 42.

6

Dr. Howard, Dr. Fine, Dr. Howard…

7

Dr. Ryan, call on 3-1-5.

8

Mr. Dobolina, Mr. Bob Dobolina…

Paging Mr. Jim Shorts

9

Mr. Bond, Line 7. That’s 0-0-7.

10

Jackie Robinson, call 42, please.

11

Bobby Troup, call on Line 66.

Nena, pick up Line 99, please.

Lloyd Haynes, you’re wanted on Line 222.

12

You’d have to repeat it 4 or more times for it to be particularly effective though. :slight_smile:

“Who, line 1 please, Who, line 1. What, line 2 please…”

“The white zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only. There is no stopping in a red zone.”

“Would the owner of a maroon Dodge Caravan with license plate ‘2SXY4U’ please move your vehicle, you are parked on the sales manager’s shih-tzu.”

“Leonidas, please call 300…”

Best paging prank ever. My favorite is “Makollig Jezvahted . . .”

My Wife and I overheard this at the Denver International Airport a few years ago.

Bond. James Bond. Please pick up a white courtesy phone.

Bond. James Bond. Please pick up a white courtesy phone.

Bond. James Bond……

It was funnier because that’s the way he introduces himself. “Bond. James Bond”.

It may have been a joke, but I’m sure there are plenty of guys that have the name James Bond.

(007 doesn’t have a cell phone!)

Peter Cetera, call 25. Or 6 to 4.
