Phone books have basically become obsolete. Nevertheless, every year, someone goes around leaving them on our stoops or shoving them in our mailboxes.
At last, our politicians have begun taking a stand against the evil of the unsolicited phone book. Boston Councilor Salvatore LaMattina is leading the fight.
"The taxpayers end up paying for this stuff to be carted off and recycled," LaMattina raged. "It's a waste of paper. It's a waste of money."
LaMattina has proposed fines for any company that delivers unrequested packages weighing more than a pound. Damn straight!
Fucking phone books...they aren't even hard enough to use as sofa-props. And no matter how you cook them, they end up tasting like wet paper.
