For your sake I hope you didn't answer the phone.
When I was in the Navy I
made the mistake of answering the phone. Next thing I knew I was halfway
across the base half out of uniform, grilled, and then left to find my own
way back to the ship.
I don't get it. Am I confused or is this a silly joke?
If you don't answer the phone then you don't know what the caller wants.
(OK, you could have Caller ID, but a random number -- which may be a pay
phone -- doesn't automatically mean "bomb threat".)
