The Call

I'm watching the video that I'm about to post, courtesy of youtube fiend and music historian Gary Engle when the phone rings.

ME: Hello.

GUY: Is Coy there?

ME: No, he's not.

GUY: Is Mrs. May there?

ME: She is not.

GUY: Oh . . . Well, how's the weather in Baltimore?

ME (unenthusiastically): It's okay.

GUY: It's okay? . . . Well, I'm in Colorado and it's just a few degrees here.

ME: Okay.

GUY: But I'm originally from Baltimore.

ME (unenthusiastically): Cool.

GUY: Well, have a super duper day.

ME: Okay...

GUY: Bye.
