- From a recent item in {The Edmonton Sun} sometime in early August
- that I had ripped out of the newspaper and had been carrying around in
- my wallet for a month, page 6 "News";
-
- Clients, Cheats, Crooks.
-
- [] Refreshing to see some blunt truth in advertising. Private Lines
- Inc. contacted {The Edmonton Sun} to flog its service that allows you
- to make phone calls without having your number traced. It could be a
- popular service now that Call Trace and Call Display services are
- widely available. The company advertises its service by saying it's
- meant for those who want to:
-
- o Cheat on their wives.
- o Fudge an expense account.
- o Bet with a bookie.
-
- A news release from the Beverly Hills company says its creator, lawyer
- Will Dwyer II apologizes for the suggested uses. But you can bet he's
- not apologizing for making money from people who use the system that
- way!
