Theo Epstein jumps off a cliff.

Theo Epstein had a long meeting with John Henry. Theo knew it was a long meeting since John told him to jump off a cliff. Theo wanted to please his boss. When he got home he sat down and picked up the phone. He called the airline.
"Hello, I need to book a flight to jump off a cliff. What flights do you have available?"
"Hello?"
"Hello?"
Theo put the phone down.
"They must be very busy. I'll try the next airline."
"Hello, I need to book a flight to jump off a cliff. What flights...hello?"
Theo put the phone down.
"I must be doing the wrong approach. All the airlines seem very busy."
"Hello."
"Hello, I need to book a train to jump off a cliff. What...hello?"
Theo sighed. Normally his mind starred at the television but then a thought came to him.
He picked up the phone.
"Hello, I need to book a flight to California to jump off a cliff?'
"What?"
"What part of California...what has a lot of cliffs?"
"hello?"
"Hmm, "sighed Theo. "Nobody seems to have anything available. "
Theo picked up the phone.
"Hello...oh its you. What is it Theo?" snapped John Henry.
"I can't find anything so that I can jump off a cliff. Do you have any recommendations?"
John was heard sighing on the phone.
"Theo, have you seen the Lock Ness Monster again?"
"No!"
"Well, we're making progress here. Listen, what are we talking about...no wait! Don't say anything. Just stop what you're doing and go to bed. Go to bed now and don't wake up till morning."
"OK."
Theo put down the phone.
"Sometimes John acts very strangely. Perhaps he needs so psychiatric help. I worry about him. "
Theo then put the phone down, opened his dresser drawer, fell into the dresser drawer, put his head on the alarm clock and went to sleep.
