Hundreds
Published Jan 01, 1900
I'd been finding it frustratingly difficult to reach my satellite company by phone. Finally I got through at about 6:00 one morning. "Just how many people answer the phone there?" I asked the operator.
"Hundreds," she replied.
I mouthed this information to my family, rolling my eyes.
"Sure," my eight-year-old said. "But they have only one phone."
