Who Are You Talking To ?

Question

A man joined a big Multi National Company as a trainee.

On his first day, he dialled the kitchen and shouted into the phone:
"Get me a cup of coffee, quickly!"

The voice from the other side responded: "You fool; you've dialled the wrong extension!
Do you know who you're talking to?"

"No" replied the trainee. "It's the Managing Director of the company, you idiot!"

The trainee shouted back: "And do you know who you are talking to, you idiot?"

"No!" replied the Managing Director angrily.

"Thank God!" replied the trainee and kept the phone down.

Answer 2

Wait a minute! 

The trainee should have shouted, "Don't you know proper grammar, you idiot?  You should have said, 'Do you know to whom you are talking?'!"
