That’s The Telephone!

   “Anything I can do for you?”
   “Just checking….be seeing you.”
   “And you.”
                  {New Number 2 and Number 20 manager of the Labour Exchange}
   In the Green Dome, as the new Number 2 {for arguments sake} is settling himself in his new sanctum, the yellow telephone bleeps. Number 58 eagerly picks it up and hands it to Number 2. The next moment the manager of the Labour Exchange is sat behind his desk and the grey telephone begins to bleep, he picks it up and asks “Anything I can do for you?” To which the new Number 2 replies “Just checking. Be seeing you.” “And you” Number 20 replies, and they hang up. If the manager of the Labour Exchange didn’t telephone the new Number 2, and he didn’t telephone Number 20, who then did put the telephone call through?

Be seeing you

    2. Hello David,
      I guess there is.
      And in the Village it's freewheeling. Spooky, isn't it?

    3. Hello Jana,
      I guess the only time a spanner was thown into the works, and was effective, was when the General short circuits itself!

      Very kind regards
