King George V of England and his sister Princess Victoria were in the habit of having a brief chat on the telephone every morning. These chats were very personal, informal and often of a joking sort. One morning the phone rang as usual and the Princess picked up the receiver and said, "Hello, you old fool." The voice of the operator broke in, "I beg your pardon, Your Royal Highness, His Majesty is not yet on the line."
