I don’t know – would you like me to enquire?

“Good afternoon, [my organisation]”

“Hello, may I speak to Julia please?”

“I’m afraid Julia’s… unavailable right now. Can I take a message?”

“Ummmmm. Mmmmmm. Is she far away?”

“No. She’s in the bathroom.”

“Oh, ok. How long will she be in there?”

    Oh my!!!
    I am so glad you didn’t know the answer to that! (and I’m thinking Julia is grateful too).

    Hi Jay – me too. Even though my office is opposite the loo…

    How about: “I presume a verrrrrrrrry long time, she’s taken the personal ads section of the paper in with her.”
