Call of the Day

A woman called the office. I answered the phone.

She asked if I spoke English.

It swiftly became apparent that she didn't ask me because I spoke unintelligibly or in a non-English language. She asked because she knew she was calling Southern California where, apparently, a lot of non-English speakers live. She wanted to make sure I spoke English before she asked if we're interested in her book.

I get a lot of odd calls, but that one's a first.
