Ask Not for Whom the Telephone Bell Tolls

I've been at my job for four months now, so I have ample basis to make the following observation.  When someone calls the office, there is a 98% chance that a second call will come in immediately after -- or even during -- the first.  Calls don't come in singly or in threes, only in pairs.  I have no idea how or why this happens.
