Governor by day, phone sex artist by night

http://news.**********/s/ap/20080123...lMi8aLJBNeW7oF


CALVERT, Md. - A Cecil County man who phoned the governor's office with an opinion about the mortgage foreclosure debate realized he wasn't talking to a secretary when the woman who answered greeted him with a "Hi, sexy."

Pete Pritchard of Calvert discovered the number for the governor's office is misprinted in the latest edition of the Armstrong Telephone Co. phone book. The printed number connects with a phone sex service.

The previous edition had the same mistake. Pritchard wonders if he's the first person in two years that ever called the governor's office by using that directory.

An Armstrong executive said the directory information comes from a third party source not controlled by the company. He said the error will be addressed in a message included with February bills.

------------------------------------------------------------
My guess is that the governor really does operate the phone sex service. I mean 2 years and no one noticed?! Seriously.

And that's not embarrassing at all.

I hope he's not married. That'd be an interesting discussion when the bill came.

"Honey, I was trying to call the governor!"

That happened to 3Com years ago. Their number 1800-800-3COM was printed on everything - then they merged with US Robotics and their number changed. That number then became a sex line, and people who were calling it from old packaging and leaflets were getting sex chat.

They're considered "artists" now?

If they do it well maybe it is an art? I don't think I'd be very good at it.

I saw an advert on the Job Center website for a fantasy chat phone service.
Eight pounds an hour, three hours a night, not bad!
However, I doubt very much if I could have kept a straight face.

See the beauty of a phone service is that you could be walking around your house in your pj's, scrubbing shit out of the toilet and all you have to do is say "Ohh yea, you like it like that do you, you dirty boy." I doubt keeping a straight face would really matter

It's an easy job for good money. People just have moral oppositions.

...Yes, I have friends who are phone sex operators. They think their job is pretty funny actually. One likes to make a Bad Girls quote about it. "They're pretty nice guys you know, for wankers."

I love it!!!


On another note, I believe Circuit City in the US has the same problem. I used to work customer service for the company at a local call centre, and would frequently have people telling me "I tried to call you guys yesterday, and do you know what I heard instead?" It's hilarious having it explained to me by a little old lady. Amazing how big a difference there is between "1-800" and "1-888"
