University of San Francisco has the 666 prefix in SF.  Funny thing is, they're
a Jesuit university.

[Moderator's Note: However, the astute reader will note that the town of
Hell, Michigan is not included in the above. The area code for Hell is 313,
and they share the CO with Hamburg (313-231) or Pinckney (313-878) depending
where in Hell you happen to be located; it being a rural area, with a tiny
population spread over several miles. The zip code for Hell is 48169, which
it shares with nearby Pinckney, about twenty miles northwest of Ann Arbor,
on State Route D-19.

About the only industry or business in the little town is a company which
makes and sells T-shirts and other souveniers for tourists which quite
appropriatly say, "I've been through Hell..."

And with that, we close the topic of 'Satanic Exchanges'. I hope you've
gotten as many laughs from it as I have, what with government agencies,
Jesuit Universities and the devilish IRS, all with 666 numbers.

In Wednesday's Digest, another round of Sprint-bashing coming up. See you
tomorrow!    PT]
