As retold by Bruce Lowitt

A man calls a law firm.

The phone is answered "Schwartz, Schwartz, Schwartz and Schwartz."

"Let me talk to Mr. Schwartz."

"I'm sorry, he's on vacation."

"Then let me talk to Mr. Schwartz."

"He's in a meeting."

"Then let me talk to Mr. Schwartz."

"He's been hospitalized but is doing fine. He'll be back next week."

"Okay, then, let me talk to Mr. Schwartz."

"Speaking."
