Basically, you can FORCE their phone to answer.
Not if they unplug it.
But really, that is just an awesome amount of flubdubbery....

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Empress - you around? I need to hire out some smiting. BIG smiting. Like 5 people who need special level of hell smiting.
Hey, this reminds me, I heard the perfect story for MM and Aimee this morning on NPR. It had camels, of course. And! They were jockeyed by robots!

Compassionately intolerant
Years ago, after the very cool software development company I worked for graduated from the developer's living room to taking over a floor in a big glass highrise (that was a wild ride, I tell you what) our employee perk of being able to choose the hold music bit us hard.
One of the original founders of WordPerfect was on the phone, holding for the developer. Suddenly, he wasn't. An assistant called back (from their Utah headquarters lined with photos of the two principals with their 5 girls and 5 boys respectively...very Mormon families) to inform us that the song Why Don't We Do it in the Road was probably a mistake in judgment.
All instrumental, all the time, from that point forward.

I'm sure my big boss is wondering why I just shouted YOU ARE SO EVIL down the hall.
Call him, force his phone to answer, and tell him.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Our phones have a horrible feature: you can force the recipient's phone to go into speakerphone mode. Basically, you can FORCE their phone to answer.
I used to be receptionist, and it was handy for me. That way the person didn't have to stop what they were doing if they didn't want to pick up.
