One of the new girls was filling in for the operator just briefly yesterday. She got on the radio and asked "does anyone know if there is a [so-and-so] working here?" She mentioned a name that no one heard of.
Feeling saucy, I answered over the radio "yeah... he's uh... he's hangin' with my buddy Maynard." (This is a throwback to an old, old, Malto-Meal commercial from the 1980's)
Oblivious to my shenanigans, the girl radioed "well, can you tell him that there's a call for him on extension 2280?" I hadn't expected her to take me seriously. After a minute I told her I was only kidding. She was pretty irritated.
The "imaginary friend" routine is always a good one to play. I pulled it off on a substitute teacher in Junior High once. It's always good for a laugh.
