Rejection Line phone service - funny stuff

from April's Harper's:

"The following message greets callers who dial 2120479-7900, a number provided to New Yorkers by the Rejection Line phone service for the purpose of fending off unwanted sexual advances.

'Welcome to the New York City Rejection Line. Unfortunately, the person who gave you this number does not want to talk to you or speak to you again. We would like to take this opportunity to officially reject you. Our certified rejection specialist are waiting to serve you in your time of need. Please listen carefully to the following options.

If you want: to hear from our comfort specialist, press 1.

If you want: to hear a sad poem written by a kindred spirit, press 2.

If you want: to cling to the unrealistic hope that a relationship is still possible, press 3.'"

I call this and pressed 3 - it was hilarious!!

Well, what happened when you pressed 3? What did it say?

Man it's too bad I don't live in the city. Not that I ever get asked for my number but it'd be cool to have incase to fend off any skeevy guys. That's hilarious. Yeah what did option # 3 say....

what was that number again, I just dialed the one you gave and got someone's answering machine.

If I remember correctly from when my friends and I called earlier this year, for option number 3 if you choose it, it gives you a pep talk saying that the person that gave you this number is in denial about their feelings for you, and only gave you a rejection b/c they are scared of their feelings for you or something to that effect
