It took several exchanges with the person who answered the phone before he realized that he had called Vice President Bush's office.

I always wondered if anything came of that, as I am sure the conversation was being recorded. He eventually did make LTC, so it couldn't have been too bad.

When I received a similar note a few days later to call Cap, I checked first and found that it was Sec Def Weinberger's office.

That right there is one of the funniest practical jokes, I have ever heard.
