Crusty old manager passes away

The crusty (̵ģƢģold managing partner finally passed away, but his firm kept receiving calls asking to speak with him. "I'm sorry, he's dead," was the standard answer.

Finally, the receptionist who fielded the calls began to realize it was always the same voice, so she asked who it was and why he kept calling.

The reply, "I used to be one of his junior associates ͬ£and I just like to hear you say it."
