If you've had a lengthy telephone conversation with someone who dialed a wrong number, you live in Nebraska.

About 30 years ago a Woman from New York called here 3 or 4 times...wrong #.

She told me on the second call what # she was dialing and it was no where near mine. So after a couple of more calls, one right behind the other, we talked for a 1/2 hour or more... :rotf:

“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

While I was deployed to Afghanistan, I would save money calling home by calling Ft. Bragg's exchange and getting connected, since it would be local.  Well, as it turns out, even though all the numbers on post are in one area code, the telephone exchange is in another.  I kept getting connected to a furniture store in Winston-Salem.  The owner eventually invited me to come visit and say hi (nothing else, for those of you with twisted minds).
