People Calling For Highway Conditions Get X-Rated Response
POSTED: 10:21 am PST February 18, 2005
TERRACE, British Columbia -- Northwest British Columbia residents who dial a toll-free number in the Terrace-area phone book to check highway conditions are getting a bluer answer than usual for blue pages listings.
"Ummm, baby, you've dialed the right number, hot, wet and ... ummmm," a female voice responds, followed by details that have nothing to do with roads or outdoor weather.
The 1-800 listing for the British Columbia Ministry of Transport road report in the government blue pages of the regional telephone directory is off by two numbers, apparently because of a typographical error, so callers are connected to a phone sex line.
A ministry representative said the U.S. directory company that publishes the phone book failed to verify the number with the government agency, and officials at the Utah-based company say distribution of the rest of the directories may be halted.
see if they were thinkin straight, they should make some ambiguous double-entendres and change the opening message just enough to keep curious drivers on the line for another couple of minutes...
