This was the third one we had set up, the other two having lasted over 2 hours. Now, when you phone up the teleconference number you are asked to say your name so that when you are connected to the conference your presence is announced :- “Fiery Fred has joined the conference”. It will also announce when you leave the conference :- “Fiery Fred has left the conference”. You know, I thought, that sounds just like the famous “Elvis has left the building”. So when I joined the conference I announced myself as Elvis only to collapse in fits of laughter when I heard 2 other Elvises (is that the plural?) join the conference as well.

I know, its not that funny in the retelling. You just had to be there.
