6 phones in a row along an
underground walkway in 
Rockefeller Center                      (212) 246-8697
                                              246-8704
                                              246-8705
                                              246-8714
                                              246-8729
                                              246-8735
	i called 246-8697 and after 6 rings 
	a fellow answered. 

	i said "is this rockefeller center?" 

	with surprising self-assurance he said 
	"yeah, it is!" 

	i said "hold on a second, 
		let me connect your call."

	i put him on hold and on my 
	second line dialed the number 
	of the phone right next to him 
	(246-8704). he answered it. 

	i conference-called the 2 phones, 
	and the guy, who did not hang 
	up the first phone, was 
		talking to himself. 

	i guess he was standing in 
	between the 2 phones with 
		one phone to each ear. 
	  he must have felt so busy.

	that's when i hung up, 
	so the guy could continue 
		his conversation in private.
