just be careful people. Once, when i was about 11 years old, i was at a friend's house in brookings, sd, and i picked up the phone to make a call, and the operator came on the line to tell me about some problem, and i thought i'd be funny so i said "oh and by the way, would you believe i'm calling you from my shoe?"
she hung up on me and disconnected my friend's line for an hour.
