A FUNNY PHONE CONVERSATION K-"Who's calling?"
W-"Watt." K-"What is your name, please?" W-"Watt's my name." K-"That's what I asked you. What's your name?" W-"That's what I told you. Watt's my name." A long pause, and then from Watt, W-"Is this James Brown?" K-"No, this is Knott." W-"Please tell me your name." K-"Will Knott." W-Why not? K-Huh? What do you mean why not? W-Yeah! Why won't you tell me your name? K-But I told you my name! W-Didn't you say you will not? K-Not not, knott, Will Knott! W-That's what I mean. K-So you know my name. W-Of course not! K-Good. So now, what is yours? W-Watt. Yours? K-Your name! W-Watt's my name. K-How the hell do I know? I am asking you! W-Look I have been very patient and I have told you my name and you have not even told me yours yet. K-You have been patient, what about me? I have told you my name so many times and it is you who have not told me yours yet. W-Of course not! K-See, you even know my name! W-Of course not! K-Then why do you keep saying of course Knott? W-Because I don't. [Pause] K-What is your name? W-See, you know my name! K-Of course not! W-Then why do you keep asking Watt is your name? K-To find out your name! W-But you already know it! K-What? W-See, and you know mine! K-Of course not! W-Exactly! K-Listen, listen, wait; if I asked you what your name is, what will be your answer? W-Watt's my name. K-No, no, give me only one word. W-Watt K-Your name! W-Right!
[pause before it hits him]
K-Oh, Wright! W-Yeah! K-So why didn't you say it before? W-I told you so many times! K-You never said Wright before W-Of course I did. K-Ok I won't argue any more. Do you know my name? W-I do not. K-Well, there you go, now we know each other's name. W-I do not! K-Gud!
[pause before it hits him]
W-Oh, Gud! K-Gud. W-No wonder, it took me so long, is that Dutch? K-No, it's Knott! W-Oh, okay. At least the names are clear now Gud. K-Yes Wright.
