Man, he really shouldda switched to MCI. He coudda saved ten trillion dollars! That's, like, enough to buy England. Maybe they will feature him in a commercial, standing in front of Buckingham Palace, dreaming of what might have been. Think about this for a minute, these are the people who are getting all of the telemarketing an phone help jobs. They can’t even print a phone bill. Man Gets $218 Trillion Phone Bill KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia Apr 10, 2006 (AP)— A Malaysian man said he nearly fainted when he recieved a $218 trillion phone bill and was ordered to pay up within 10 days or face prosecution, a newspaper reported Monday. Yahaya Wahab said he disconnected his late father's phone line in January after he died and settled the 84 ringgit ($23) bill, the New Straits Times reported. But Telekom Malaysia later sent him a 806,400,000,000,000.01 ringgit ($218 trillion) bill for recent telephone calls along with orders to settle within 10 days or face legal proceedings, the newspaper reported. It wasn't clear whether the bill was a mistake, or if Yahaya's father's phone line was used illegally after after his death. "If the company wants to seek legal action as mentioned in the letter, I'm ready to face it," the paper quoted Yahaya as saying. "In fact, I can't wait to face it," he said. Yahaya, from northern Kedah state, received a notice from the company's debt-collection agency in early April, the paper said. Yahaya said he nearly fainted when he saw the new bill. Government-linked Telekom Malaysia Bhd. is the country's largest telecommunications company. A company official, who declined to be identified as she was not authorized to speak to the media, said Telekom Malaysia was aware of Yahaya's case and would address it. She did not provide further details. http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory?id=1825338

Yes, it certainly is a puzzler. That phone could have very well been used to rack up a bill roughly equivalent to 27 times the US National debt--if the calls were made to various numbers on Ganymede and Europa.

Telekom Malaysia

Go figure. Who says third-world wonders can't maintain the White man's technology?

Stay on track! Harass the jews and the spics. When was the last time you walked into Taco Bell, went to the restroom and all over the floor? When was the last time you went into a high rise in your town and sprayed concentrated pepper oil on all of the toilet seats in the men's room?
