“Information. May I help you?”
“I’d like the number of the Theatre Guild, please.”
“One moment, please. (Pause) I’m sorry, Sir, but I have no listing for a Theodore Guild.”
“No, no. Is isn’t a person. It’s an organization. It’s Theater Guild.”
“I told you, Sir, I have no listing for a Theodore Guild.”
“Not *Theodore!* *Theater!* The word is *Theater.* T-H-E-A-T-E-R!”
“That, SIR, is NOT the way you spell *Theodore.*”
Giving up, the man said, “OK. Then give me the number for S-T-U-P-I-D.”
