And if he calls you back, because he has your number, may I suggest a long lunch?
Until October.

You are such a chicken.

Chicken indeed. When they call back, you just say,
"Oh you said One Sixty Eight. Sorry, we'll be right there."
Rinse and repeat.

Several decades ago, we had a home phone that was one digit away from a country club. From time to time, I'd take dinner reservations.

The phone number at my parents' house was very close to that of the local movie theater. I remember sitting in the living room, reading, as the phone rung and my Dad picked it up. After a brief delay, he said "Snow White and the Seven Dwarves", and hung up.
