    Today my cell rang & a lady was wanting to rent a clown for a party. I told her she must have a wrong number. She said no, it is right here in the yellow pages.


    Yellowbook in its infinite wisdom put Anemones, Clowns, and Corals in the Yellow Pages under clowns & clown supplies with my cell phone number.

    LOL that is great.
    It might be easiest to just go with it and start renting clowns and costumes now.

    Although it's pretty humorous, It stinks that they probably failed to put you under the pet supplies portion for those that are actually looking for a fish store...

    I guess it probably won't be that big of a loss as hardly anyone uses a printed copy of the phone book anymore. Maybe you can open a side business. Any of your employees know how to make balloon animals?!

    LOL


    Also, I don't think many people use the phone book anymore and just search online. That's how I found AC&C!

    That is too funny. I realize it's got to be frustrating, but it is pretty funny nonetheless. In a weak defense of Yellowbook, you do sell clowns and supplies for them! /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/smile.gif

    You know, technically, it is accurate. You DO sell clowns and clown supplies...
