> I told my story to some of the guys at work, and they got a good laugh over it. Then Jeff (one of the guys) told the story about how his number used to be very similar to the number for a video rental store. He answered his phone with a simple "Hello," but people still assumed that it was a business. One time, he answered the phone and a guy said, "Hi. I reserved 'The Breakfast Club' and was wondering if it was in yet." Jeff said, "Hold on, let me check." A few moments later, he replied, "Yes, it's here." The guy on the other end of the phone was thrilled and said he'd be right over to get it.

Wickedly funny. Can't you just picture the scene when he got to the video store? The manager would be likely to believe that one of his people gave the guy the wrong information. Maybe he got a free rental.
