who otherwise never would have known each other. Usually, when you
make a phone call, you know whom you're talking to. (Although I do
know a couple who met on the phone. She was working as a telemarketer, selling what later turned out to be vaporware. (Endnote #4) He returned a couple of calls and finally confessed that he had no interest in her product
but would really like to take her out for lunch. They're married now and
have an adorable daughter.)
