Mr. Blog's Tepid Ride

January 27, 2010

In my last blog, I went on and on about the FOUR- yes, freakin’ FOUR- phone books that arrived at my house. Well today I got a fifth. Who in the world needs FIVE phone books? This one was the Ambassador Yellow Pages, and it may actually have been the real yellow pages since A- it was all spelled out in two words, not an easily trademarked one (yellowpages) and B- it had that old “let your fingers do the walking” logo. So I did.

I picked it up in my fingers and walked it straight out to the recycling bin.

Does anyone even look in that book anymore? And who would look in four yellow pages? They all have the same information! At least the cosmos had the right sense to send me only one white pages, but why why oh why did I get four competing yellow pages? How can anyone make any money from that? How can I make money from that?

I wanted to complain and ironically I could not find the telephone book’s telephone number.

UPDATE here!
