[Dixielandjazz] John"Punch" Thomas wherabouts,

[Harry Callaghan]

Ed:

On behalf of the Telemarketers of America, here's a big Texas thank you.

Just havin' some fun with ya........My number is listed in the telephone
directory but when a telemarketer calls from it, it's usually a dead
giveaway.  They don't realize that the "G" is silent and they address me as
"Mr. Calla-GUN", which would be more appropriate if I was the Harry Callahan
with the.44 Magnum.

Of course, that was when I usta actually answer my phone, ages ago.
