5. Could never figure out why it got a laugh.
I mean, Junior was a little bit funny, but the canned laughter would swell each time he mentioned that number. I always wondered whether there were another hidden joke that I wasn't getting.

6. I tell you what...
Could be that they jest found a five number phone number a reference to small town Merica cause all them city slickers got 7 numbers...

Tell you what...

8. In the small town in which I grew up...
you only had to dial five numbers. Our number was 6-5521. I'll never forget that. :D

Of course, now, we dial ten digits, just like the rest of Murka. :D
