Ah yes. 555-1212. Good ol’ national directory assistance. When I worked retail, people would have to give a phone number if they wanted to return an item without a receipt. I’d always roll my eyes when they gave their number as 555-1212. There were hundreds of names in our POS database with that number.
Sadly, most American’s think it’s pronounced “JYE-roh,” which makes this cartoon nonsensical.
