Heh. Before the internet, we had a phone number that was one number off from a pizza place. We got a lot of calls, which quickly ended with "I'm sorry" when we explained the misdial. One day a caller refused to believe it--called back over and over, threatening us with practicing discrimination (against what we couldn't figure out. He sounded ordinary white-bread.) Finally my brother answered the phone and simply took his order.

He didn't ever call back to complain he hadn't gotten his pizza. I presume when it didn't show up he finally looked at the number he was dialing.

Something technology hasn't ruined: I may or may not have mailed something back to an ex after rubbing it all over my cat. Did I mention he was allergic?

Never underestimate the value of a well steeped raspberry iced tea, sweetened just so...

This was some good stuff. I would say that adding technology to the mix just means we need to plot smarter, not harder. 😈

I do live me some raspberry ice tea... with a sprig or two of mint when possible. My revenge, as they say, is best served cold. To me, that means let it simmer until they’ve forgotten the offense and then dish it up.
