SWITCHBOARD

[wordsmithery]

If you're deciding to actually use that phone in your room, go right ahead; the Wordsmith is a busy man but he's often around, and he has no real reason not to talk to you, assuming that you do it correctly.

Comments are screened for privacy; it's rude to eavesdrop.

If that's meant to refer to me, then yes. I am clearly awake.

[quadruples]

Oh, good! I was wondering if you'd be willing to give us some alcohol. A few bottles of vodka or saké would be nice.

[wordsmithery]

...I can perhaps try to make such arrangements.

[quadruples]

[ He was hoping for a "yes", but at least it's not a flat-out no. ]

Whiskey or rum would be appreciated, too; I'm not picky. A university without alcohol is like a hamburger without the patty.

[wordsmithery]

I'll take your request under consideration. I advise you not try to push your luck.

[quadruples]

Alright, I won't. Thank you for considering my request.

[ He pauses, tapping his chin in thought. ]

One more question before I hang up. Do you watch us when we sleep or when we shower? I'd sleep better at night knowing we have some privacy, at least.
