questions for those with traditional land lines

[digby]

I can beat that with a random story about a landline, with no helpful advice and barely any point:

We've been trying to get rid of our landline for years, but our kids won't let us... ever since a drunk called us up late at night...

Wife: Hello?

Drunk: Who'zis?

Wife: Who's this?! Do you know what time it is?

Drunk: I'm drunnnnk...

Wife: Well, goodbye, drunk, go to bed.

Drunk: Wait! Did you know your phone is BEERKEG?

Wife: Wha...?

Drunk: B-E-E R-K-E-G

Wife: Beer keg?

Drunk: Yeah, your phone number spells BEER KEG. I wanted my phone number to spell BEER KEG but the phone people said it was already taken...

Wife: Well, I'm sorry about that, but I don't think there's any way we can give it to you.

Drunk: Oh...kay... [hangs up dejectedly]
