She started slowly, with that sing-song prosody of telemarketing commercial voice-overs.

It's the phone number of an airport car service that advertises on TV all the time. Very lucky, don't you think?
Now if it were 666-6666, some people would be telling me to worry about having a demon-child. ;)
I couldn't help it. I was so convinced by her marketing that I dialed the number. Really. Can you please let Sweet M know that the number needs to be reinstated.

Well I'm in Southern California, so I had the wrong area code.
Try 212 . . .
