Here's the weird thing, though, and bear with me if you think I'm as dull as a gray-wet dishrag, the dashes were in all the wrong places. You know how a phone number goes... la-la-la, then a dash, la-la-la, another dash, la-la-la-la... ten digits. But this was la-la-la, dash, la-la, dash, la-la-la-la, a period, and a final la, like a social security number. In fact, it was MY social security number with the number three following it.
