U.S. government error gets duck hunters to phone sex line

nice job government!!! :lol:

It's clearly a case where the U.S. government failed to get all its ducks in a row.

Now callers are getting their feathers ruffled over a typographical mix-up in a phone number that tells hunters where to call to buy their duck stamps. The Duck stamps, which cost $15 a piece, are required to hunt migratory waterfowl in the United States.

The carrier card for the duck stamp transposes two numbers so, instead of listing 1-800-782-6724, it lists 1-800-872-6724.

The first number spells out 1-800-STAMP24, while the second number spells out 1-800-TRAMP24.

As a result, people calling a federal phone number to order duck stamps are greeted instead by a phone-sex line where they are enticed by a husky female voice to "talk only to the girls that turn you on," for $1.99 a minute.
