Regarding Bill Walsh's latest post on the copy editor's responsibility to check phone numbers, all I can think about now is an editor working on a piece about 1980s pop music and coming across "867-5309/Jenny" and getting an earful after dialing it.

Stewie: [picking up the phone] Hello, operator. Hello ... Oh, God, that's right, you have to punch in the numbers nowadays. Uhhh, I should know this. Oh yes, [dialing number] 867-5309, yes, that's it. Wait, that's not it. Damn you Tommy Tutone!
