    Joe Pa only makes $512,000 a year. How the hell can he afford more than one phone line?

    I've heard all kinds of stories over the years about famous people who have this one room in their house that's empty except for a table with a phone on it, and it never gets answered.

    Daivd Halberstam always had a publicly listed phone number.
     
  5. I think MLB Hall of Famer Stan Musial is also in the book.

    A guy named Alfred Slote was my favorite author when I was a kid, and several years ago on a whim I did a people search on yahoo and found his phone number. Called him up and had a nice conversation. I wonder how often that really happens.

    Heywood Jablome AND Heywood Jablome Jr. for many years were listed in the Nashville phone book.

    Seriously.

    I used to look for own name/number in the phone book each year when it came out, just to verify I wasn't in there.

    I had an unlisted number and wanted to make sure I was getting what I paid for.
