    My little brother called some of those numbers, over a short period. The period was stopped short when my parents itemised phone bill came in - LOL.

    He was kinda embarrased

    I had a really cool boss years ago who happened to be alcoholic. I was college intern and my main job was sneaking in booze for her (she was the head of accounts payable). The company started to go downhill due to management problems, a state investitation, and debt.

    One day my boss, Phyllis, decided to have an impromptu office party and had me and a few other employees in to her office and she started making us all screwdrivers while she drank straight Stoli. One of those things that seemed like a good idea at the time. I do recall one of the things we ended up doing (that I'll talk about anyway), was that we looped a piece of paper and faxed the company President's zeroxed photo endlessly to various fax numbers in Brazil. Then Phyllis decided she wanted to try phone sex, so we found a number for her and called the "Phone Escort".

    It was kind of interesting hearing my drunken boss and the phone escort chat until she heard one of us cough and started cussing us out for using a speakerphone. A wonderful time was had by all. The place went out of business a few weeks later, but that doesn't bother me.

    When working as a sports writer, I had to put together the football season preview. Along with my own prognostications, I also added an article where I called up a psychic line and asked the lady on the other end to make pics...all she needed was the coaches' birfdays and days of the games.

    I bet. Did you ewver have to confront the people about the bills? I could imagine the look as someones face when this would be brought up.
    No...that was HR's department. I wish I saw their faces.

    I briefly rebounded (for 3 days) with a girl who worked for one of these companies. If they would have seen her, they would think twice about calling :)

    lol I imagine they are ugly hairy girls. Or guys even.

    She wasn't hairy, but a 12 cup, double-sided bra could have done her some justice. It's pretty sad when you think you're touching a girl's back, but you're in fact touching her breast.

    ....never again...
