Scene in an Office

Scene: my desk, approaching lunch. Christine is sitting a few feet away. I am talking to Brian about EverQuest while waiting on Christine to be done with her e-mail so we can go to lunch.

The phone rings
Christine (answers the phone): Hello. This won't be Christine.

At that point, Brian and I began laughing hysterically while Christine attempts to explain to the client why she just answered the phone as she did. We have now added this to one of our funny phrases and are repeating it around the office. Ah, good times at work.

Update: Christine's phone just rang and I asked her if it was the same client as earlier (we have caller ID) and she said yes. Just as she picked up the phone I told her, "Tell him it won't be you," and she cracked up. She answered the phone laughing to the point of tears. Ah, I love taunting Christine at work some times. =)
