THE PHONE CALL

        A Nobel prize winner in literature wakes up and finds his house on fire. He rushes to the nearest phone booth and dials the Nigerian Fire Service number. The lines link immediately, “hello, Nigeria Fire Brigade Service, always at your service” “Yes” the Nobel prize winner replies and continues, “A MAGNIFICENTLY UNMAGNANIMOUS CONFLAGRATION HAS ENGULFED AND CONSUMING AT AN UNPRECEDENTED RATE MY DOMICILIARY BEFORE I PLUNGE INTO AN ABYSMALLY COMATOSE”. The Fire Brigade officer on duty, squeezes his face and says “Sorry this is not a mental hospital”, and he bangs the receiver.
