Making The Call

I finally convinced my friend to call in sick and join us at the beach.

Rather than wasting a good sick day going to a local beach, we decided to board a local plane and take a 20 minute ride to Nantucket Island.

At the local airport, my friend had to make the "call" and leave the "message" before anyone in his office showed up for work. He found a pay phone and began to leave his "message." As he was in the process of sounding ill and bedridden, the gate agent announced in a booming voice over the loudspeaker - "Flight 17 to Nantucket now boarding."

He went anyway.
