An expert on whales was telling friends about some of the unusual
findings he had made. "For instance," he said, "some whales can
communicate at a distance of 300 miles."
"What on earth would one whale say to another 300 miles away?" asked a sarcastic member of the group.
"I'm not absolutely sure," answered the expert, "but it sounds something like this: 'He-e-e-e-y! Can you hear me now?'"
