As he sat behind his new big desk, a private knocked at his door. \u201cJust a minute,\u201d the colonel said, \u201cI\u2019m on the phone.\u201d He picked up the phone and said loudly, \u201cYes, sir, General, I\u2019ll call the President this afternoon. No, sir, I won\u2019t forget.\u201d Then he hung up the phone and told the private to come in. \u201cWhat can I help you with?\u201d the colonel asked. \u201cWell, sir,\u201d the private replied, \u201cI\u2019ve come to hook up your phone.\u201d1199<\/p>\n
