Collect Telephone Calls

Do you know what are the biggest days of the year for receiving collect telephone calls? Here is a list of the top three:

3. Third biggest day for getting collect calls is Valentine's Day. How thoughtful is your darling to remember you on the special "Love Day"! Can you imagine the phone ringing and the operator telling you, "You have a collect call from your girlfriend. Will you accept the charges?"

2. The second largest day of collect calls is Mom's Day in May. "You have a collect call from your son in Montana. Will you accept the charges, Mother?" "Of course, put him on." It is so nice to know that he loves me enough to call my on Mother's Day, even if I must pay the cost.

1. Number one on the list for most collect calls is Father's Day. Dear old Dad deserves a call from his offspring. However, my own telephone bill is unpaid. I doubt they will let me make a call unless Dad will pay for it.

In the year 1992, 83 million calls were made on Father's day. However, Mother;s Day had 106 million calls. The hooker, though, is that 27 percent of those of Father's Day were COLLECT calls.
