Now that is crazy! Yes, I'll buy the hick-town defense.

Originally posted by JohnLennonForeverDude, sit down at that desk over there and look at the whiteboard. Now here with the blue marker I'm writing your phone number, the number you gave us, and the numbers of all your friends. Notice that I am not using the area code? That's because they are local calls. It is assumed that they are all within the same area code and thus they can call each other.
Yes, any number I call! I can call my best friend 1 street away if I dial with the area code! The area code doesn't matter, I don't think this number is designed for a specific area code since the number is the Rejection Hotline! LOL
Now, over here in red I'm writing my phone number, the number of the school I work at, the numbers of a couple of teachers including a recently-single one, and the number for Peterson's in case you want to call and find out when they're reopening for the "summer" and selling ice cream again. Again, I am not writing down the area code. Why? Because if I am calling them from my house, I don't need the area code.
Through magic, I'm handing you your telephone from your kitchen or living room. Your phone is from your area code. Pick it up and call someone from my list of red phone numbers. What? You didn't get single teacher? You got a gas station? That's because there aren't "universal" phone numbers, aside from 555-1212 (in the US). If you dial your own phone number but with random area codes, you will get a bunch of different people and businesses. That's the whole point of having area codes.
Oh -- there will be a test on this tomorrow, just so you know. And you still haven't turned in your essay on dating yet.

Originally posted by Dr StrangeloveI used to get calls to a radio station at the office.
In my area in the UK, I can dial a local number with or without the area code - it still works and I get the same number - very strange.
On the other hand, I keep getting calls from people wanting a taxi.
"Hi, am I caller 12?"
YOU SURE ARE! GUESS WHAT YOU WIN!
"I'm calling for the Eagles Tickets".
FANTASTIC! SOMEONE WILL PICK UP AND TAKE YOUR INFO. PLEASE HOLD.
CLICK!

If you break the keyboard, I want you to take a stapler and put a couple of dozen staples into the fleshy part of your hand between the thumb and forefinger.
ROFLMAO I don't even know why I started this thread, it was like at 12:00 or 1:00 in the morning, quite tired then, especially when I have to get up at 5:00!
Lennie, you're a special little fella aren't you?

While we're not playing 'spot-the-faggot' here, you may be right, after all, from what I here you're a very attractive young man in an obese, slightly huncbacked and special oympics kinda way. You can't blame otherwise hetrosexual men from lusting after you.
