Now that Jimmy T. had a new office and a campus phone, he needed a loud bell so that it could be heard in the building.

I always loved it when self important people would ask me for a loud bell. They may as well have asked me for a sign which read “kick me”.

You see, a few years prior, I came across a construction horn left behind from the construction of one of the campus buildings. And that horn was good for a 1/4 of a mile. So, when Jimmy T. demanded a loud bell, I knew just what to give him.

I hung that horn inside the building near his office. Since the horn was really made for outside use, it really rattled the windows inside the building.

Now for the best part. Since I was the campus phone man, I had one of those clip on phones just like the phone company. And, I could go to any telephone terminal on campus and place calls.

So, whenever I saw Jimmy T. standing right next to the horn, I would clip into a terminal and give him a call. The loud horn would make him immediately jump and run back to his office. Of course, by the time he got there, I would have hung up.

Now, he suspected that it was me so he would immediately check the telephone terminal near his office. Of course, what he didn’t realize was that I was in a different building, watch him through the windows.

He should have let me thrown those boxes in his dumpster.
