The Old Telephone Man


You think you have lived to be 65 and know who you are, then along comes someone and blows it all to hell!


An old telephone man sat down at the Starbucks and ordered a cup of coffee.

As he sat sipping his coffee, a young woman sat down next to him...

She turned to the telephone man and asked, 'Are you really a telephone man?'

He replied, 'Well, I've spent my whole life installing telephone poles, PBX phone systems, data networks, trouble shooting down lines and short circuits, laying cable, installing wireless towers, living through 3 national strikes, installed radio / wire integration for General Price in Germany, ran an SB 86 switchboard in the Army and a 555 PBX back home and I've taught 100's of people to sell phone systems, so I guess I'm a telephone man.

She said, 'I'm a lesbian. I spend my whole day thinking about naked women. As soon as I get up in the morning, I think about naked women. When I shower, I think about naked women When I watch TV, I think about naked women. It seems everything makes me think of naked women.'

The two sat sipping in silence.

A little while later, ayoung man sat down on the other side of the old telephone man and asked, 'Are you really a telephone man?'

He replied, 'I always thought I was, but I just found out I am a lesbian.
