perils of the speaker phone

One of the VP's at work is notorious for paging people rather than calling them, and for having loud conversations on speaker phone while his door is open. I think he learned his lesson today when 4 of us were crowded in his office trying to sort out what roles his department still has open and he called a Manager to clarify. Here's what went down...

VP: Hey, do you have time to answer something?
Manager: I'm busy right now, but give me 10 minutes.
VP: I'll make it quick, do you have 2 secs?
Manager: No, I'm not a hermaphrodite. (long pause) Was that your question?

I just about died laughing and the VP got all flustered and said he would call back later.
