Subject: putting the telephone company back together

Will Martin asks if the telephone company can be put back together.

The answer is well known, but bears repeating:

        Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
        Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
        All the King's horses and all the King's men
        Can't put Humpty Dumpty together again.
