I'm amused when radio stations have contests where it's "Call in when you hear this band to win tickets to their show" and people consistently call in - Reagen Oct 25, 09:39 19

      - if we were feeling honest about it we'd pick up the phone, say a number and then hang up... - Mel Profit Oct 25, 09:58
    - the one I listen to says Caller Number 9 ... and they always claim to only have 9 listeners. :) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 25, 09:47

    - EP? Who wouldn't defer to a zombie? -- nm - Spawn Oct 25, 09:36 7
