I read about a man who called his wife from an airport payphone.
When he had used up all his coins, the operator interrupted to say that he had one more minute left.
The man hurriedly tried to finish his conversation with his wife, but before they could tell each other good-bye, the line went dead.
With a sigh, the man hung up the phone and started to leave the phone cubicle.
Just then the phone rang.
Thinking it was the operator wanting more money, the man almost didn't answer.
But something told him to pick up the phone.
And sure enough, it was the operator.
But she didn't want more money.
Instead she had a message for him.
"After you hung up, your wife said she loved you," the operator said.
"I thought you'd want to know."
