1. Well, 605 is the South Dakota area code...
...so it's probably the asshole's phone number too. That comic strip is priceless! It would be truly hysterical if it weren't true, though.

The wonderful lady that does this comic strip sits about two cubicles away from me at work :)

7. Yeah, they're real --
And Stephanie says "hi," and asked me to namecheck her site: http://www.minimumsecurity.net/

Also, check her interview out on an upcoming episode of RFK Jr.'s "Ring of Fire" show on Air America.


Oh, and buy her book :)

22. See post #19
That would be Peggy and Bill Napoli. The cartoon is great, but Stephanie shouldn't have just picked random numbers from area code 605. Would anyone who called them please drop them a written note to apologize? Their address is in the Reverse Directory. Have you ever had a phone number that was one digit off from a take-out food joint? Not fun.

19. Governor's office contact number is different
Office of the Governor
500 E. Capitol Ave.
Pierre, SD 57501
605.773.3212

http://www.state.sd.us/governor/Main/forms/RequestForm.asp

You should not call this number and ask him whether you should use pads or tampons, though. That would be bad, so don't do it.

16. What a great campaign!
"Napoli knows best!" Clog his phone lines, fax, email, voicemail, letter box with requests from women "unable" to make their own decisions on what brand of feminine products to use, whether the green beans should be blanched or steamed, how to get shit stains out of nappies; no matter how big or small the problem may be... ASK BILL!

17. Not that anybody is advocating calling the poor man over and over-
--or anything like that. Why, that would be wrong! So don't do it. And don't post his work or home address so people can write in for advice either. That would be really juvenile.

18. and to even contemplate asking whether I should have fries or onion rings
Edited on Sat Mar-25-06 02:21 AM by Lisa
... or teriyaki vs. hot 'n' spicy chicken wings tonight -- I mean, that would be so inconsiderate! Even though, as a typical wishy-washy female, it would be SUCH a wonderful thing to turn the decision-making over to someone else!

Oooh, should I have a chocolate or strawberry shake?

25. This cartoonist is a gem
and this idea is brilliant, even though, of course, I would never dream of calling Bill ( can I call him Bill or should I say "Senator?") and asking him whether the vinegar douche or no douche is best.

And what kind of pantyhose does he advise using? Does he agree with Oprah's guest there about wearing a bra a bit smaller in chest size but larger in cup size? Shaved or bare?

I mean, if this guy is really more knowledgeable than I am about my female body, he should know all sorts of stuff!

Thanks, Stephanie! :yourock:

26. Just be sure to call the governor's number
--and not the random citizens' numbers that were in the cartoon.
