Sexy Duck Stamp Talk
Waterfowl hunters looking to purchase the federal duck stamp through the U.S. Postal Service are being directed to a toll-free sex line due to a printing mistake. Paul Welsh of the Minneapolis Star Tribune wrote today that a typo on the cards that 3.5 million of the self-adhesive stamps are attached to includes the incorrect phone number.

Instead of reaching the Postal Service to order more duck stamps, callers were reaching "Intimate Connections" where they were offered sexy talk for $1.99 a minute.  The incorrect number wasn't working when I tried it.

The mistake came when printers mixed up the phone numbers and spelled 1-800-TRAMP24 instead of 1-800-STAMP24. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has notice of the correct number on its home page but no plans to call back the cards because it will cost too much.
