It Was a Rhetorical Question

I don't work on Monday--which means I get to sleep in past 4 a.m. Unfortunately, Milt at some pest control company in Birmingham didn't get that memo.

When I answered my phone at some heinous hour, he only managed to get out "Good morning Mrs. Landlord, this is Milt at some pest control company in Birmingham, how are you today?"

"Milt," I growled, "It is some heinous hour of the morning. Why are you calling? Is my home on fire?"

Milt gasped, "Oh no ma'am. Your home isn't on fire. You know what, I'll just call back later today."

Note to Milt: it is ok not to call back.
