If by some fluke of chance or grave importance you are able to reach me at my office when I am either a) available or b) between secretaries, you'll quickly realize that you are on speakerphone. Immediately you will wonder who else is in the room and your tone and confidence will adjust accordingly, and without so much as a word, you will have submitted to my power and authority.
Call any man of power and he will put you on speaker. In fact, the only time we "go personal" is when speaking to our mistresses, friends, people of greater authority and delinquent teenage sons or daughters who are calling from military school. Wives, other children and individuals of equal or lesser authority will always be placed on speaker.
Why? Because one must always know their place.
