Many years ago (in a galaxy far far away -- oh, forget it!) I got an obscene phone call at really the wrong time. I had just been to a "singles" gathering at a Unitarian church 40 miles away and had left almost immediately (with the friend who talked me into it in the first place) because the situation was so hysterically stereotypical (funnier, actually, once I got home -- painfully boring being there) and I had just curled up with _The Women's Room_ when the phone rang. I just wasn't in the mood. Told the guy off -- AND he called back and apologised!

I wish I had written it all down at the time because I've forgotten exactly what I said to him, etc. But it's kept me amused for the past 20 years.
