A young doctor was
just setting up his first office when his
secretary told
him there was a man to see him. The doctor
wanted to
make a good first impression by having the man
think he
was successful and very busy. He told his secretary
to
show the man in.
At that
moment, the doctor picked up the telephone and
pretended
to be having a conversation with a patient. The
man
waited until the "conversation" was over. Then, the
doctor put the telephone down and asked, "Can I help
you?"
To which the man replied,
"No, I'm just here to connect your
telephone."
