It was about this time that one could randomly dial an 800 number that contained any four letter word and get maybe twenty seconds of breathy sex chat for free before they hustled you for the 900 number.
In 1992, I dialed "1-800-JERKOFF" from a payphone in my dorm and it bounced immediately (without ringing) to a breathy announcement that "the number for OUR NATION'S LITTLE SECRET has been changed."
I wanted so hard to believe that there was a Bush Sr.-Administration-funded phonesex line...
Somebody must have spent a fortune scooping up every possible dirty 800 number in the country, because I remember dialing every single one I could think of and still getting the "OUR NATION'S LITTLE SECRET" message.
I remember breaking an old woman's "sexy voice" one time on one of those lines when I was like 10 or something. I called like 1-800-HOTTSEX or something like that and got connected to her, then when me and my friend kept giggling she broke out into a "What the hell you kids doing on here! I'm going to call your parents!" or something in the husky voice of a chain-smoking Irish grandma. I hadn't even seen that Beavis and Butthead episode yet either, so it was a shocking revelation.
