    I wonder how many people with that number get a call today. People with 867-5309 had all kinds of problems when the song came out.

    Good question. We used to get calls on our answering machine for the emergency vet clinic pretty often. The best one was someone saying, “I think my iguana’s constipated.” No, I couldn’t make that one up!

    Our phone # was only on # different than the local movie theater. My dad got a thrill out of making up funny movie titles to tell people when they asked what was playing.

    It’s April Fools, so $50 says it’s a number for someone McPherson’s playing a prank on.

    When I was growing up, our home number was 1 digit off from the local hospital…fortunately, at some point they changed their number and we stopped getting calls at 3am.

    We got so many of those that my wife made a list of the correct numbers so she could tell them..Pennsylvania 6-5000 was the band’s booking agent.
