Greetings fellow Bizarros:
Now here's a brilliant idea! An Australian wireless company
is offering a new service aimed at helping "drunken dialers"
before they place that embarrassing call.
The new service comes after Virgin Mobile found 95 percent
of the people it recently surveyed admitted to making phone
calls after drinking too much, Sky News said Tuesday.
Of those people, 55 percent grabbed their phones first thing
in the morning to find out who they called. Among the
recipients of drunken calls were ex-spouses, current partners
and bosses.
Under the new service, customers can call a special number
before they go out drinking and enter in numbers to be blocked
from their cell phones, the Australian Broadcasting Corp.,
reported.
They can't dial those numbers out and those numbers cannot
dial in until 6:30 a.m. the following day.
I can honestly say that I have never gotten drunk and called
an ex. I did, however, once get drunk and write a letter to
an ex. I'm slightly embarrassed to admit that I didn't even
remember doing it until I received the reply about ten days
later. For the record, she wrote that she still loved me too
but was otherwise uninterested.
Bizarrely,
Lewis
