"Operator"...I'm still hearin' static on this line!

Hel-LOW-oo! Are you THERE, "Operator"???

(I mean, I really hate to bother ya here, but you see I don't have access to the switchboards around here, though if I had, I'm pretty darn sure I could have fixed this problem for us years ago)

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
