A woman was getting swamped with calls from strangers. The reason? A billing service had launched an 800 number that was identical to hers. When she called to complain, she was told to get a new number.©JOKEDEMO.COM

"I've had mine for twenty years," she pleaded. "Couldn't you change yours?"©JOKEDEMO.COM

The company refused, so she said, "Fine. From now on, I'm going to tell everyone who calls that their bill is paid in full."©JOKEDEMO.COM

The company got a new number the next day.
