Muncle, these are wonderful! 040 1rnfl Thanks so much! I can use some of these!

We are unfortunate enough to have a phone number that's 1 digit different from a new Texas Roadhouse restaurant. Before they opened they had a huge banner on their building stating that they were accepting applications for employment and the banner had OUR phone number on it. We had hundreds of phone calls from people looking for work, or they were angry because there were no applications when they stopped at the restaurant. I couldn't call the restaurant to complain; it was OUR phone number! Even directory assistance was giving out our phone number. I finally went to the restaurant, and that's when they discovered their banner was wrong, but their number is still similar to ours. Every day around 4:00 the phone starts ringing with folks wanting to make reservations. (I usually ask them if they've heard about my soup!) I'm tempted to start taking reservations. :verymad: It would be funnier to use some of your telemarketer tips! I can tell them we're having dinner. That will confuse them for sure. ;D
