How many Telephone Books does one need?

[Miss Kitty]

Maybe we can build a phone book canon. :scratch:

Maybe Gidget can bury them all in her walls? Extra insulation!

Y'all!

It's not funny, quit laughing at me Lynnie.
The thing is I used to sell advertising and I can hear the pitch now:

We have a distribution of 100,000 every three months, that's a minimum of 400,000 people seeing your ad every year, and most phone books are looked at by at least 4 people! For a mere $500.00 your business is in front of 1.6 million people! Our deadline for space in this issue at this price is this Tuesday. Don't miss out on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to advertise in the Real Yellow Pages at this low low price. :roll:

BULL BUTTER! :angry:

So, one more thing and I'm done:

On page 2 where it says Directory Recycling and they go on about how environmentally friendly the phone books are, there is an
email address that you can send a request in writing to stop delivery to your address. I'm going to try it, but I'd bet my kid's savings accounts that delivery doesn't stop.

Here's the address for anyone interested:

distribution@talkingphonebook.com

Oh Honey, I was laughing at the whole thread.

They're back! Just ran off a van load coming down my street.

I guess the 'do not deliver' email didn't work. Imagine the shock.

:$&9&); they showed up here and had the dogs barking at dawn the other day. I now have a stockpile of water balloons on the upstairs deck and I intend to use them!

The phone book delivery people must be reading my mind. Today, I found my bagged phone book resting on top of my garbage can at the entrance to my driveway! Now if the other 13 phone book companies will follow suit...

Phone Books

I just read this stuff about the phone books. Ya'll are cracking me up!!! I just moved in about a week ago and got a phone and so far have not gotten any phone books. I do however, have seen two dropped off at different times at the house next to mine that is under foreclosure. I guess they won't mind if I take one, you think? Since they will probably get many more!? Being new, I do need a phone book. Ya'll can send me one or two!! It might cut down on your phone book population a little. I love this site.:funn:
