Each day at around 6 pm, you receive a call from someone who dialled the wrong number. It is always a different person. Over time, the callers become increasingly less likely. One time, for example, you had a ten-minute chat with the president of Egypt, who was impressed with your grasp of his language. The thing is, you thought you were both speaking English.
