    Quoth blas87 View Post
    Whenever I get asked my zipcode, I give them the one of my hometown. I don't make a huge fuss over it.

    I don't like being asked for my phone #. If I'm at Vicky's or somewhere all girls gather, I'll give it away to the associate, but if any men are around, I use 867-5309. If the associate is under 25, they won't get it and just think it's real.
    One Sc once placed an order with that number. Problem was we actually did need to call because something that was supposed to come in never did. It was our fault the SC gave us a fake number.

    Oh yeah, the idiot at corp. who decided that would be a good song to play over the PA.....is, um, not well liked. Let's put it that way.

      I just googled 703-867-5309 and it's a mailbox that's completely full, but it does play the song. I might start giving that out instead of my home number when I'm asked for a phone #. As long as I'm not filling out paperwork where a real number is needed.

        Jenny, I got your number.
        I need to make you mine!
        Jenny, don't change your number.

        8 6 7 5 3 0 ni-e-in

        I think I was watching a VH1 show & they brought that song up and mentioned how it did create problems in areas where it was heavily played because people dialed the number.

        Hell, I tried it!

        I also tried 555-2368 numerous times after the movie came out. (BIG, gigantic, HUGE cookie with ice cream if anyone knows the movie where that number showed up)

              I'm always disappointed when I ask...
              "Who ya gonna call"

              and it's not answered with...

              well, you know....



              For what it's worth, there was a cover version of Jenny that was out just a few years ago.
              you are = you're. not "your".

                  Hehe I'm 22 myself.

                  Smiley, it is a real number. Its owned by a plumbing company IIRC.
                  In my area it's Benjamin Franklin Plumbing's number.

                    555-2368 or 555-CENT (for Central Office) is in a lot of old stuff.

                    My favorite? It's Jim Rockford's phone number.

                        In Rhode Island, it's owned by Gem Plumbing. They've grown from a tiny business to a hugely successful local brand- a change that happened almost immediately after they sunk a lot of money into an ad campaign focused almost solely on their phone # (and that their employees wouldn't dirty or stink up your house). Really smart business move, in my opinion.

                          Yes, I have now learned that 555-2368 has been used in other shows besides Ghostbusters...but that was the movie I was referring to.

                            There was a giant cookie with ice cream in ghostbusters? I remember talk of a giant twinkie and a huge marshmallow man but no other abnormal confections.

                                No, I was saying if anyone got the reference to the phone number, I'd give them a giant cookie with ice cream - virtual, of course.
