As I said at the time, the funny side of it is that the operator only has
access to one data item today - the phone number that the call is coming
from, courtesy of the ANI service provided by the telco. And in the
"fable", that is the one item that is explicitly listed as not
known:

>Operator: "Thank you, Mr. Sheehan. I see you live at 1742 Meadowland Drive,
>and the phone number's 494-2366. Your office number over at Lincoln
>Insurance is 745-2302 and your cell number's 266-2566. Email address is
>sheehan{at} home.net. Which number are you calling from, sir?"

But never let the facts get in the way of a good story, eh?
