Back in the days of local newspapers, land lines and bad connections, the following story takes place:
A proud mother telephoned a Sunday newspaper to announce she had given birth to quadruplets. The line was bad, and the
newspaper receptionist didn’t understand the message.
“Would you repeat that?” the receptionist asked.
“Not if I can help it!” came the reply.
