A Daffy Duck Stamp Story

This just quacked me up today.

Apparently, people calling a phone number printed on card issued by the government to order Duck Stamps -- you know, the license issued by the Fish and Wildlife Service you have to buy if you want to legally go out and shoot things with feathers -- instead get a phone sex line because of a typo on the card.

KUSA in Denver first reported the error on Wednesday. The phone number to order a Duck Stamp is 800-782-6724 or 800-STAMP24. The number on the card is 800-872-6724 or 800-TRAMP24.

According to the AP story, if you call the second number, you are "enticed by a husky female voice to 'talk only to the girls that turn you on,' for $1.99 a minute."

What the story doesn't say is that if you dial the right number, you are enticed by Daffy Duck to talk to only the Looney Tunes characters you want for $1.99 minute. Let me tell you, if you pick Elmer Fudd, it's gonna get costly.
