Oliver Twist' phone number

One day, a colleague asked, “Marissa, do you have Professor Charles Twist’s phone number?”
I said, “No, but you can call his brother.”
She blinked. “Who’s his brother?”
I grinned. “Oliver Twist, of course.”
She frowned. “But I don’t have Oliver Twist’s phone number either.”
At that point, I sighed. The joke was lost on her.
“Of course you don’t,” I said. “Oliver always wants some more anyway. Just call HR."
