Clumsy Frank went to call his wife, Flora. He placed his oversized mug of gas station coffee on the desk and picked up the landline. As he did so, though, his boss, Mr. Krillwurd, approached to discuss the monthly earnings report. Frank had just dialed his wife, but not wanting to be rude, he spun around in his chair, creaking the whole time as it usually did.
As he spun to face Mr. Krillwurd, his elbow bumped his coffee mug, spilling it all over his boss' pants. Frank dropped the phone and immediately stood up to help. He failed to realize that the phone cord had wrapped around himself as he turned, and when he dropped the phone, it landed in between the armrest and backrest, hooking it securely into place. As Frank stood up, he tugged on the phone cord, pulling the device out from the desk, causing a huge commotion.
This startled Frank even further, and when he turned around, he managed to tangle himself even more. Realize the ridiculousness of the situation, he turned back around to Mr. Krillwurd to apologize, but he simply tangled himself so much that he tripped and fell right into his boss.
The cord ended up slipping up to his neck, constricting his airflow, so the only noise Flora heard on the other line was a bunch of banging, and then a raspy, wheezy sound coming from Frank's mouth.
In the end, Mr. Krillwurd had Janet, the secretary, call Flora and have her come in to detangle him again.
