Dial M-A-T-T-R-E-S

Jessica: i had to call 1 800 JET-BLUE and i went to my blackberry to call them but my BB doesn't have the ABC DEF GHI markings on each number key like most (and older) phone do so i couldn't make the call

me: ha. how did you make the call?

Jessica: i went to my landline -- which has an old princess phone

me: My phone is the same. I've found myself, at times, trying to figure it out by saying the alphabet in bits of three while counting.Okay, 1 is nothing, 2 is ABC, 3 is DEF...but then a few of the numbers have more than three letters, so eventually it becomes a guessing game!

Jessica: but do other people have them memorized?what does JETBLUE expect? can we not do 1800 - WHATEVER in the future?

me: I doubt many people have it memorized. Many people don't even know their own number.

Jessica: right

me: the last numbers of my phone number spell COCK

Jessica: ha!

me: interestingly, they also spell ANAL

Jessica: so funny -- you have option. but now no one will know

me: well, maybe in the future, we just won't use phones at all. fingers crossed!

Jessica: we will just mind meld. or not communicate at all

me: Or we'll IM
