Years ago I began receiving calls asking what time the movie starts. All of a sudden, call after call. Well, they were calling the Pussycat, a downtown porn theatre.

I looked at their newspaper ad (this was pre-Internet) and a 3 in their, printed very small, phone number was very hard to distinguish from an 8, which made it my number, so I called the theatre.

The theatre manager was uncooperative, a real mouth breather, said he couldn't get their phone number size increased in the ad and the business owners were in another city and he didn't have their number to call.

So, I said, Fine, I'll locate the owners myself and wait to hear back from them. In the meantime I'm going to continue telling the 20 to 30 callers a day that there was a bad projection room fire and the Pussycat will be closed for 6 months to a year, then hung up on the mouth breather. Two newspapers later and they'd greatly enlarged their no. in their add and the calls ceased.
