When I bought the cell phone that I currently have, the guy selling it looked at the phone number that I was assigned and said, “oh, man, you got a sweet number.  Most of the numbers we give out are really crappy.”  That comment really made me wonder what the hell kind of numbers they were handing out around there. 

            Now, I understand how a repeating pattern of digits would impress a dude working at a phone store to classify it as ‘sweet’.   But if your number doesn’t have such features, then it’s just a normal number.  What would constitute a ‘really crappy’ number?

Phone Dude:  “Here’s your new phone number.”

Buyer:  “Oh, man.  I only got six digits… and one of them’s an ampersand.”

I just don’t get what could be so bad about a number.

Woman:  “So, uh, why don’t you give me your number?”

Guy:  “Sure.  Dial 2… 3… 4… 7… now pay attention because this is where it gets complicated.  Also, you’re going to need a lot bigger piece of paper than that.”

She wasn’t going to call him anyway.
