Talk:Dial-a-joke

In order to greatly lessen the odds of wholesale rejection of the "New York Bell" content by Wikipedia administrators, the content had to be pared down to meet style requirements. The initial content, which was both informational and entertaining, would be better expanded in a personal website. -- User:Arrowcatcher

Shouldn't we have area codes? --Jnelson09 01:32, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

''In the past, many jokes were recorded on cassette tape and then played sequentially, each caller hearing the next joke on the tape. Modern touch tone phones allow callers to select different joke types''

I don't know of any of the Dial-A-Joke lines using cassettes to play their material. Most are modified answering machines or homebrew using 8-Track tapes. Or being able to select a different joke using touch tones. The comment lines used an auto-reversing cassette car stereo. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ronaldgibson (talk • contribs) 02:59, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
