A Texan Lost In Texas By ROBERT E FORD
A humorous column recounts how a Texan learns about telephone dialing and unlisted numbers after receiving mysterious calls. It blends anecdotes about obscene calls, comedian voices like Dizzy Dean, and a Pittsburgh incident. The piece ends with plans to change the household number after realizing the digits were close to their own.
