Mary's desk

Mary: "Dr. Grumpy's office, this is Mary."

Ms. Call: "Hi, I'm trying to reach Dr. Freenbeen."

Mary: "He doesn't work here, this is Dr. Grumpy's office. Let me look up Dr. Freenbeen's number for you."

Ms. Call: "I already have it. I can't reach him. That's why I called you."

Mary: "Oh... We're not affiliated with that office at all."

Ms. Call: "Yes, but I still need to reach them. I can't get through. The internet says you're both neurology offices, so I figured you'd have a way to."

Mary: "No, we don't"

Ms. Cell: "There isn't some secret network that connects you people? I saw that on the internet, too."

Mary: "There is no such thing. I have the same phone numbers you do."

Ms. Cell: "You people are so unhelpful."

Your office staff should get combat pay for what they put up with.

You say neurology, I say telepathy, let's call the whole thing off. . .

Thank Mary for keeping the Receptionist's Code and not revealing that the secret network truly exists.

Mary: "There's a seekrit number that will connect to every doctor in the country but I won't give it to you because you are unworthy."

No wonder you are Grumpy!

"Dr" Grumpy isn't on the secret neurologist network. Must be a yak-herder in disguise.

Unwittingly, we pharmacists have found we're in on that seekwrit ESP network, too. Though, it's so so secret, no one's let us know the password, yet.
