A law firm receptionist answered

---

A law firm receptionist answered the phone the morning after the firm's senior partner had passed away unexpectedly.

''Is Mr. Smith there?'', asked the client on the phone.

''I'm very sorry, but Mr. Smith passed away last night,'' the receptionist answered.

''Is Mr. Smith there?'', repeated the client.

The receptionist was perplexed. ''Perhaps you didn't understand me I'm afraid Mr. Smith passed away last night.''

''Is Mr. Smith there?'', asked the client again.

''Ma'am, do you understand what I'm saying?'', said the exasperated receptionist. ''Mr. Smith is DEAD!''

''I understand you perfectly,'' the client sighed. ''I just can't hear it often enough.''
