Forgetting an anniversary is a sure fire way to ensure testicle removal
I don't think my wife likes me very much, when I had a heart attack she wrote for an ambulance.

Did I say that this was the anniversary of Robert Burns birthd........(oh, wait, I did have already .......) (I knew I should have waited for this thread to start ...mutter mutter ...)

And, apparently, on this day in 1915, Alexander Graham Bell in New York and Thomas Watson in San Francisco made a record telephone transmission (I think it was a wrong number).
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

How do you dial a wrong number when you are making the first ever telephone call :P

I imagined the first call would have been someone asking Alexander Graham Bell if he'd like them to make a claim on his behalf for mis-sold PPI or asking if he'd be willing to take part in a consumer survey. :)

Good morning sir!

I'm calling on behalf of 'Haveyoubeeninvolvedinanaccidentanditwasntyourfault'. According to our records you were involved in a road traffic collision in your dirigible.......
