An employee’s husband called her at work, A new employee routed him to me, her nursing supervisor, not his wife, by mistake. We are both Linda. When I answered, all I heard was heavy breathing, then,”Are you wearing panties?”
Without missing a beat, I answered, “No, as a matter of fact, I always wear boxers.”
He panicked, knowing I knew who he was, apologizing, “I am so sorry. I’ve been connected to the wrong person!”
Though I never mentioned it, I’m pretty sure she heard about it.
Bwah ha ha ha.
Possibly good that you answered. If you’d got another colleague he’d have probably got the reply ‘No, my ho daughter’s got ’em!’

I friend of mine once had an anonymous caller breathlessly ask her what she “had on.” Not realising the intent of the caller, she replied with what she was watching on television. The caller hung up in disgust. 😀

My wife & I worked for one of the original Bell Telephone Companies. A male employee friend of ours would prank call female employees with funny voices, heavy breathing, and the “what are you wearing schtick.” Most everybody was wise to him. Some of his improvised characters were quite funny.

True–I’ve been technologically displaced several times. But I did get a retirement from the parent company.
