Although, a common workaround if you really need to send an object a 
private method (message) is to do it with the Object#send method. So you 
could do:

self.send(:phrase), but then again it would be completely useless in 
this case because you could do without the receiver altogether.

There's also an Object#pubic_send(:method, *args, &blk) that just works 
for public methods.
