      “Following the union strikes at Verizon, AT&T’s telephone books also chose to picket at company locations. AT&T officials accuse the telephone books of sabotaging company property.”

        [Delivery person driving away, wiping sweat off his brow] Whew, now only four thousand seven hundred fifty-two more to go.

      “Yeah, we don’t use the phone book anymore either.”

      ” We have such poor customer service and training programs we can’t even train our phone book delivery folks to recognize the At&T sign and have the common sense not to deliver our own material to the location from which it originated”

        I thought you’d be happier to see me handrail . . .

      AT&T’s Decatur office reverts back to paper, siting that they were “experiencing network outtages” in their area.

      Like taking coal to Newcastle.

      Facing rejection from families and their creator, the unloved phone books discover they are indeed forever alone.

      I don’t like the small, hard to read phone books and I see the company who produces them feel the same :-)

      No one can get out of phone book delivery!

      Soon to be residing in the where are they now files: AT&T and big paper phone books.

      For all we’ve done for the world and all we got are our own lousy phone books?

      Hmm, so that’s how 411 works

      “Right dude, so now you gotta light it on fire, and then, when they stamp on it to put it out, they get crap all over their shoes. Verizon Rules!”
