The phone bank gears up for the early evening shift.

“Hello, could I speak to XXXXX.” “No, she’s not in.” Okay, I’ll try calling back later.” “Who’s calling.” “My name is XXXX and I’m calling for Senator Obama’s Campaign for Change here in Missouri.” “There’s no way she’ll want to talk to you all.” “Oh, okay, sorry to bother you. You have a good evening and we’ll talk to you later.”

On hearing the last phrase everyone in the phone bank cracked up.
