Person:  Hello.

Another Person:  Hello.  Who is this?

Person:  I’m a person.  What’s your name?

Another Person:  I’m just another person.

Person:  Really?  Oh.  I’m looking for my brother.

Another Person:  Are you my brother?

Person:  Yes.  I am.  Let’s meet at LBridge.

A:  Hello!  My name is A.  Can I speak to B, please?

B:  This is B.

A:  How are you?

B:  I am sick.  I’m getting cancer, because I smoked too much.  I am going to die in two days.

A:  Oh.  That’s good.

B:  What?  I will kill you, too.

A:  No!  You can’t kill me.  I’m visiting my uncle in Russia.

B:  Ah!  I’m dying.

A:  Yes, you will go to heaven.

B:  Oh, no!

A:  I’m hanging up, now.

B:  Don’t do that.

A:  Why?
