We Can Only Connect
Topic : CommunicationA man returned to his home and played back his telephone-answering machine to discover that his message to callers had not registered beyond his initial Hello. Transcribed, the tape of the exchange between machine and one caller ran as follows:
Hello. Hello. Hello. . . hello! (click.)
Hello. Hello, hello. . . hello, hello! (click.)
Hello. Hello, hello. . . You see, operator, he says Hello, but he wont say anything else.
Im sorry, sir. We can only connect you with your party. We cannot make him talk to you.
