Is It A Holiday In The US?....
 

I can't seem to get hold of anyone - Or is just too damn hot to work?..

Lots of people take off the entire week. Fourth of July holiday.

America is on fire!

Nope, not until Thursday.

Some of us are busy supporting our friends to the north celebrating Canada Day by drinking whiskey, eating pancakes with maple syrup, and shooting fireworks. :winkwink:

"Hello..?"
"Yes, a collect call for Mrs. Floyd from Mr. Floyd.
Will you accept the charges?"
[clunk! of phone being put down]
"Oh, He hung up! That's your residence, right? I wonder why he hung up?
Is there supposed to be someone else there there to answer?"
[Phone rings again...clunk of receiver being picked up]
"Hello?"
are we reaching...
[interrupted by phone being put down]
"See he keeps hanging up, and it's a man answering."

It's 4th of July week, lots of people have taken off the week. My wife has the week off.

Exactly.
