My mom got a suspicious phone call from a large bookstore retailer here in town. "Ma'am, we are just calling to tell you that your book has arrived. Would you like to come in and pick it up?"

Not to be taken in by just another marketing ploy to get her to buy something she never ordered, she replied, "Really! Well, then, what is the title?"

There was a long pause on the other line and then quite a string of hums and hahs. Mother's smug smile widened with every pause, while she thought, I've outsmarted them!

Finally a response: "Well, uh, the title is uh, 'How to Improve Your Short-Term Memory.'"

"Oh!" (pause) "Well, in that case, I'd better be right over!"

When she got there, they all had a good-natured laugh about it.
