Mr Wallace

When they call back and ask for Mr Wallace they get told he's on holiday or sick or whatever springs to mind
They said the funniest ones are the guys who claim Mr Wallace ordered something or other
I'm thinking of employing a Mr Wallace or maybe a

But unfortunately this is the way it is today.
Oh and I f***king detest cold callers, usually get short shrift.
Spare a thought for this plumber
