Funny Story
At my job, we work very closely with many other federal agencies. One department in particular is Medicare Assignment of Benefits, which is a phone number that I give out at least once a week.
Not so long ago, I got a call from a little old lady who seemed genuinely distraught and totally confused. When I asked her what was wrong, she replied, "Well honey, I tried the number that you gave me for Medicare, and I just hear this person breathing really heavily into the phone. I think something must be wrong with them." The lady was truly concerned for the health of the person who answered the Medicare line.
I didn't think too much of it, until I got a second call a few weeks later from a man who was verifying the number I gave him. "I must have written the number down wrong, because that was a porn site that I just called," the man said to me.
I panicked. Had I been giving out a porn number to the elderly population of Brazoria County? I tried the telephone number, only to hear loud and heavy breathing in the background and the music playing: "bow chicka bow wow." Never have I slammed a phone down so quickly.
Yep. I had done it. I had gotten the Medicare phone number wrong and inadvertently given out a pornographic telephone number to dozens of old people...
Leave it to Courtney.

Well, that is one way to support the adult entertainment industy.
And to give heart attacks to the elderly all at once...
Needless to say, I changed my rolodex ASAP.
CLASSIC!
That is fucking awesome! You should keep giving it out.
1-877-567-7271
That is the Medicare line you dork! (at least one of them...I deal with insurance day in and day out.)
I wonder how many heart attacks you gave?
"We're from the Federal Government, and we're here to help!"
Big oxymoron if you ask me!
Only joking...
Nobody's perfect, shit happens.
Well at least you will get a laugh out of it and your office will never let that one down. That's classic.
That may be the best thing I have ever heard. What's that number?
