Tommy called a little while ago — his voice sounded perplexed, at best. 'Did you go back on pain killers?' he ventured. 'No, why?' I asked. 'Well, you left a 6-minute message on my cell earlier — it was just all these muffled noises... Wierd...' I knew I hadn't spoken with him, so logged in to check my billing minutes. But the evidence was there... Shit. That's the problem with Blackberrys, &/or not locking the keyboard before sticking it in your purse. It's happened before — dialing the first number in its call log — and with him, but I usually catch it. This time I didn't, because I was driving to work with the top down & radio blasting. 'Oh hon,' I tried to explain, 'I guess it was bouncing around in my purse while I was driving & just dialed you, sorry!' He was silent for a moment. 'Well, at least I know what the inside of your purse sounds like now!' he chuckled.

When I related it later — out loud to my girlfriends — we all laughed so hard we almost peed our pants. 'Boy, does he ever have your number!' Laurie giggled. 'And wow, he sure has a great sense of humor!' Blanche, with tears streaming down her face, said 'I'll never be able to look at you again without thinking about this & laughing my ass off!'

Me? This is one of those things that'll end up crossing my mind when I'm sitting at my desk or walking down the street by myself & cause me to burst out laughing — the kind of thing that makes passersby (or your office mates) wonder if you've totally lost it and you feeling like a total arsehole ;]

PS: Tommy doesn't think this is nearly as funny as I do...
