Very clever, kaile.  

Here are some other ideas to work on...try writing ones about these Zen conversations:

Hello, is this the party to whom I'm speaking?
No, this is someone else.
---

Hello, who is this please?
Don't you know, you called me!
---

Hello?
Hello, who is this?
I don't know, I don't have Caller ID.
---

Have fun kaile, I'd love to see what you come up with.
