Uncomfortable (in Retrospect)

me: [answers phone] Hello?
JR: Hey John!
me: Hey, what's up?
JR: [awkward pause] Well, is there any chance my wife is there?
me: [awkward pause] Er, yeah. [another awkward pause] Did you want to talk to her?
JR: Er, yeah, if that's ok.

Of course, that's only funny out of context, but I'm totally willing to exploit that. We were in a group of youngish Friends having a snack at the Gypsy Den (Santa Ana) after Quaker Meeting.
