1) turn cell phone on to vibrate, drop it in your lap and set your office phone to redial?
2) find accomodating work-mate?
There is a joke about a man who goes into his dentist's office and tells the dentist that his new dentures hurt a lot.
The dentist tells, "well, Roger, you're just concentrating too much on your pain. Go on out and relax. Go fishing."
Three days later, the dentist sees Roger on the street and asks how he's doing. Did the fishing help him relax and forget the pain?
Says Roger, " Well I was out there fishing and stood up to cast, slip and fell overboard. The oarlock caught me right in the groinal area and damn near twisted the hole unit off. Well, Doc. I can honestly say that for 30 seconds or so, I didn't think about my dentures at all."
