Introducing Steven, the contralto

While ordering Chinese takeout over the phone tonight ...
Friendly waitress: "Okay, we have egg rolls, egg drop soup, broccoli chicken, and crab crowns! Could I get your name please?"

Me: "It's Susan."

Her: "Steven?"

Me: "Susan."

Her: "Steven?"

Me: "Susan."

Her [sounding a little embarrassed]: "Susan! I'm sorry! It must be my phone."

Me: "No, I get that all the time."
Y'know, maybe I should stop feeling chagrined for considering anything higher than F over middle C to be a "high note."
