A kid asked : ""Dad, what is the difference between anger and exasperation?"" The father replied : ""It's mostly a matter of degree. Let me show you what I mean."" With that, the father dialled a random number. He said ""*Hello, is Adrian here?*"" The man answered ""*There is no one here called Adrian. Why don't you pay attention when dialling?*"" ""*He was probably very busy with something and we annoyed him. Now watch...*"" the father said. The father dialled the number again ""*Hello, is Adrian there?*"" asked the father. ""*Now look here!*"" came the heated reply. ""*You just called this number and I told you that there is no Adrian here! You're got a lot of nerve calling again!*"" The receiver slammed down hard. The father turned to his daughter and said ""*You see, that was anger. Now I'll show you what exasperation means.*"" He re-dialled and when a violent voice roare ""*Hello!*"", the father calmly said ""*Hello, this is Adrian. Have there been any phone calls for me?*""
