always be sure who you're talking to

this is true. it happened 15 minutes ago. i swear. i'm still red in the face from all the laughing.

i was on the phone with this friend of mine, she was at work. in the middle of our conversation, she puts me on hold. 5 seconds later she answers the phone. here's an account of the conversation:

(f = friend, k = kris a.k.a. me)

f: hello?
k: hi
f: who's speaking?
k: i think you know
f: savio?
k: no
f: (3 or 4 more guys names)?
k: no...it's me!
f: can i have your name please?
(i thought the caller had hung up before she could answer - happens to me all the time)
k: i forgot my name
f: i'm very sorry but i can't help you if you don't give me my name
k: but i forgot my name!
f: (another half dozen guy's names)
k: no...none of those are my names. you know my name.
