A former trumpeter in Buddy Rich's old band called Buddy's house one day. This was shortly after Buddy's Funeral. Buddy's wife answered the phone and a voice on the other end asked in a clear voice, "Hello, is Buddy there?".
"No." his wife said, a little choked up. "I'm sorry, I guess you haven't heard. Buddy died a week ago.". "Oh!" said the voice at the other end "Thank you." and then he hung up.
The next day, the phone rang again and once more Buddy's wife answered it and a voice asked, "Hello, is Buddy there?". The wife recongnized the voice from the day before and thought it was a bit peculiar. "I'm sorry, I thought I told you yesterday. Buddy died a week ago." "That's right!" said the voice, "Thank you." and then he hung up.
This went on for three more days and Buddy's wife was sure there was something wrong with the man who kept calling. She even placed the voice as a former band member.
Finally on the sixth day, the phone rang again. "Hello, is Buddy there?". Buddy's wife had enough of the caller and shouted into the handset "I've already told you several times now, DON'T YOU GET IT? BUDDY IS DEAD!!!!"
"I know" said the caller "I just like hearing you say it!" *click*
"No." his wife said, a little choked up. "I'm sorry, I guess you haven't heard. Buddy died a week ago.". "Oh!" said the voice at the other end "Thank you." and then he hung up.
