What does your phone number spell?

[system]

mine used to be YOU-SOBS. Which was pretty appropriate, considering that my roommate and I were both SOBs.

My telephone number spells out 1-800-EAT-SHIT.

I wonder if that has anything to do with those constant calls I’m getting from people complaining about the driving habits of certain truckers?

Hey zev, you need to do something about that message on your answering machine. It’s way too long.

Here’s a hot tip
I chose my own “special” phone number, and then named the company after it !

First I called the phone company to see what numbers they might assign me. They all started with 843-xxxx. I said to halt the order, and I would get back to them.

Then looked for words starting with those “numbers” T-U-V, G-H-I, D-E-F.

This got me a name starting with THE-xxxx.

I tried dialing about twenty of the words I liked starting with THE- THE-BEST, THE-MOST, THE-…

I ran out of ideas and my son said there was a cable channel cartoon spy, like James Bond, named The Maxx.
That one reached a “not in service” recording so I ordered it.

Then I registered the name downtown and in the papers.

So now my name is my phone number, and customers think I’m a bigger company.

My newspaper adds say " our name is our number THE-MAXX (843-6299)"

I get repeat orders every year from people who say they haven’t seen our ad lately but remembered the number from the name! **

About 10 years ago, someone (a friend of mine from phone liens) decided to register a number f*ckyou which is a Cleveland Heights number under the name Jack Meoff. They printed it too.
She got in trouble too.

Weird. I work for a Realtor, and ours spells LOT-xxx1.
We once handled a group of condos with this lot #.
