I ran into my good friend Jack the other day. He could see that something was bothering me so he asked, “What is the matter with you?”
“Nothing, really! Well, actually, I am still upset about something foolish that happened at Hank and Sally’s party,” he confessed.
“What happened?” Jack asked. “You usually don't get upset very easily.”
“Well, you know how shy I usually am. At that party, I met the most wonderful girl. I didn't feel at all shy and we were having a marvelous time talking to each other.”
“So, what's the problem with that?” Jack asked, obviously a little puzzled. “It sounds like she is very nice! What is her name?”
“That is the whole problem,” he answered. “I don't even know her name!”
“What? Why not?” Jack said, surprised.
“Well, we were having a wonderful time talking, when all of a sudden, she looked at her watch and realised that she had to get home. So, I asked if I could see her again and she said that she would like that very much.
Well, just as she started to leave, I realised that I didn't know what her name was, or where she lived, or what her phone number was.
So I asked her if I could call her and when she said yes, I asked her what her phone number was.
As she got up to leave, she answered, “It is in the phone book.”
I felt embarrassed and said, “Of course! How foolish of me! What is your name?”
As she reached the door, she answered, “Don't be silly! It is in the phone book, too!” And, just like that, she smiled and was gone.”
