A man in dress business called a friend

A man in the dress business called a friend, also in the dress business, and asked how things were going.

“Couldn’t be better,” answered the friend.

“Even with the recession, our sales are up 40 percent.

My son, the lawyer, just won a big case. And his fee was a million dollars.

My other son, the surgeon, was nominated for the Nobel Prize in medicine…”

“I’ll phone you back later,” the caller interrupted.

“I didn’t know you had someone with you.”
