Not the brightest bulb

I stood in the lobby of my office building yesterday, frantically trying both to put a cell call through to my voice mail and to avoid co-workers who might stop to talk on the way to lunch. Call one. The call would not go through. It looked like it did, after all, I could see the seconds ticking away on the screen, but no voicemail. Call two, same thing. I pressed the phone to my ear even harder and turned up the volume. Nothing. Calls three, four, and five didn't go through either. I couldn't hear anything on the other end. Quite a quandry. And then it dawned on me.

MAYBE YOU SHOULD TAKE THE HEADSET OUT OF THE PHONE BEFORE YOU TRY TO MAKE THE CALL, JACKASS.

Damn newfangled technology.
