My brother wrote to tell us his mobile phone number isn't working for the time being, so we shouldn't call him. Immediately, as a family, we responded.

My mother: Did you pay your bills?
My brother: (testily) Yes, I did. There's a problem with the phone itself.
Me: Did you put it in the washing machine by accident?
My brother: (annoyed) No!
My father: Your phone isn't working. Are you working?

Heh.
