Did you melt away?

Excerpt from a phone conversation today:

Caller:	"Do you year that?"
Me:	"Hear what?"
Caller:	"Is it raining?"
Me:	"I live near Seattle, it's always..."
Caller:	"No, really raining?"
Me:	"Well, yeah, actually, it's raining right now. Like I said, this is..."
Caller:	"Why am I hearing it then?"
Me:	"Over the phone?"
Caller:	"Yeah—you aren't outside are you?"
Me:	"No...."
Caller:	"...or in your car?"
Me:	"Uh, no."
Caller:	"Why am I hearing water?"
Me:	"Over the phone? Are you sure—?"
Caller:	"OH MY GOD! I'VE SPRUNG A LEAK!" (Sounds of panicked footsteps, then, very calmly) "I'll have to call you back in a moment."

That was several hours ago. Haven't heard anything back. Hope there wasn't a drain in the floor.
