Quick test.
If someone rings you and you promise to call them back by a certain time with a piece of requested information, do you:

a) honour your end of the agreement, call them back and supply the information by the specified time?
b) even if you over-run and can't call back at the agreed time, call them back when you have the information anyway?
c) supply a bit of the information, ask them to ring you back when you have the rest, then when they call back, forget who they are and subsequently contradict yourself?
or d) forget about them entirely?

it depends, if its your mum asking what you want for tea, I would wait a bit
however, if its the police asking you for the vital clue you have about a terrorist plot, i might be inclined to give them a call.

I'd not do anything until they ring back
then the whole time they spoke I'd pass wind through the mouth piece

though obviously I cannot fart on cue like that nor would I like to use the mouth piece afterwards. So I would prepare a tape recording earlier.
