Sunday had been a bad day going worse, and I needed to make a phone call with no phone books. So, off to information. I live in DC so we have 202, 301, and 703, which you have to get right these days for the call to go through. I was in DC and using ITT's 950 number called 301 information. But, I really wanted info on a 202 number so they politely told me that I needed to call 202-555-1212. OK, off to 202-555-1212. What's the first question out of the info-person's mouth? What city please. I was stunned. I responded with "what choices are there?" They were a bit stunned. I said that I called 202-555-1212 and they said they had no idea who I called but could give me information on DC. Oh well, it did work. I guess it must be combined with another information office. bruce
