Random Thought of the Day...
Has anyone ever wondered who the voice of the operator is when you dial a wrong number...y'know, "the number you have dialed has been disconnected. please hang up the phone and try your call again"?...I always thought it was a 1940's recording left over from the olden days...

When I hear those I feel like I dialed the Twilight Zone.

Yep that makes me laugh...if the number I dialed has been disconnected why would I want to hang up and try again. (Assuming I did dial the right number in the first place) Otherwise it could be an all night thingy......Doc
FWIW: I think the old message and voice is outdated and someone with a sense of humor should make some new recordings....they might go something like this:
Barack Obama's voice: LOOK! You dialed the wrong number, I know this is going to take some work on your part, but If we all pull together, and check the number again...there might be some change when you try it again.
Joe Pesce: You dial the wrong number idiot, don't even bother trying it again...I get real tired of saying the same thing over and over again.
Al Gore: The number you dial has been disconnected...Do you know I invented telephone numbers...call back and I'll give you some new numbers to call as soon as I can find the the key to that locked box.
Prince: The number you have called is the number previously known to an individual who no longer wants to talk to you.
Sylvester Stallone: Yoooo Adriannnnn it's for you!!!!!!
Frank Sinatra: Strangers in the night exchanging numbers

A friend of mind was the central office technician for several main switches in the area and did several of the phone error messages for our area.
I would call him occassionly just to tell him I was tired of him giving crap every time I screwed up on a call. LOL...Take care...Ed
