Adam West: Ketchum, Idaho Phonebook Fun

[Gimpdiggity]

So I saw this tonight and thought I’d share. Sorry if it’s a repost.

West retired to Ketchum, Idaho.

If you looked in the local phonebook at the time for Adam West, you’d find this...

...which tells you to look up Bruce Wayne (Millionaire).

When you look up Bruce Wayne (Millionaire), you’d find this...

...which tells you to see Crime Fighters in the Yellow Pages.

When you find Crime Fighters in the Yellow Pages, you’d get this...

...which directs you to Batman in the White Pages.

When you look up Batman in the White Pages, you find this...

...which tells you to look up Adam West.

I thought this was pretty good!

That's some pretty funny stuff, but...

1. Is it real, as in these arl phone books..? and
2. If it is real, who create it....?...Adam West himself...?

It's weird because I'm sure local government don't let in 'joke' listings...?

Anyway, still funny.

Telephone directories in the US are not operated as a government service, but by private companies.

Absolutely true. I used to work for one back in the early 90’s putting them together. We had to literally hand cut and “paste” all the listing with artwork.

I don't think we've gotten a new physical phone book in a while. The last one that we had, still wrapped in plastic, was from 2018.
