So I Read The Phone Book For The First Time Last Night...
Edited on Mon Nov-15-04 02:30 PM by CO Liberal
Everyone raves and raves and raves about it. I finally got around to reading it last night and...am I missing something here? Where was the funny? I thought it was fairly well-written, with a large cast of characters, and I can see how it's influenced other phone books. But funny? No. Not funny. :shrug:

:-)

this reminded me of that scene in The Jerk where he finds his name in the phone book.
