Wrong Number

You know this sort of thing happened to my company a few months back. Except instead of SBC DSL calls we got all the calls for that stupid American Idol show. Somehow the viewers got one of our fax lines for the "vote for this person" number. So I got like 5,000 calls all at once. I started picking up the line to see what was up, to find people on there, trying to vote.

Who ever was number 2 that night lost a lot of votes to our fax machine. True story, it was even on the local news. Guess there was a big scandal about the voting system anyway, then to have this happen.
