of "dial the wrong number", however this works out in the 23rd or 24th

A: Bridge to Mr. Smith.
B: Smith here, Sir.
A: Uh, not again. Sorry. I meant the engine room Mr. Smith, not you.
B: I'm a barber, not an engineer!
A: Bridge to Lt. Smith.
Computer: We have 3 Lt. Smiths on board this ship. Please specify: Lt.
Valery Smith, engineering, Lt. Calvin Smith, engineering or Lt. Matthew
Smith, security.
A: Forget it, I'll just go there myself.
