- This is something I used to do to kill time a long time ago.
- I used to have two phone lines in my room, a house line and my own. Apparently
- the wires on the second line were on the two pins that are normally
- unconnected, so by taking a phone line splitter and plugging it into the
- back of a phone, i could dial one number on one line, then plug in the second
- line and dial a second number and they'd be connected. why, you ask?
- All sorts of fun. My favorites were things like calling up two different
- grocery stores. ("A&P" "PathMark" "Can I help you" "This is PathMark" "This
- is A&P" (major confusion)) or any two competing buisnesses. Also good for
- starting fights between people i didn't like for some reason or another
- (keep connecting them very late at night..."Stop calling me you ****" "I
- didn't call you!" and other such words to that effect).
