Today as I was looking something up in the yellow pages, for some reason
I actually read some of those little fillers they put at the bottoms of
columns, profferring `tips' on telephone use or, more often, exhortations
to use the yellow pages.  Here are two:

           HOUSEWIVES...BUSINESSMEN...
           EVERYONE CAN MAKE USE OF
           THE YELLOW PAGES.


           MAKE SURE OF ADDRESSES BY CON-
           SULTING THESE PAGES BEFORE VISITING
           PROFESSIONAL MEN'S OFFICES.

You mean housewives can use the alphabet?  Who let them learn a thing like
that -- it could lead to something dangerous.  (Oh, it must have been some
of those professional men.)

Me, I'm just an amateur man.
