This just in: BellSouth isn't

By at 7:44 am Tuesday, Feb 6

This just in: BellSouth isn't making money off of its payphones anymore -- between 1-800-COLLECT and cellular phones, the only people using payphones anymore are crack-dealers with stolen calling-cards. They're getting rid of all 143,000 of them! (Er, the phones, not the crack-dealers) Link (Thanks, ronks!)
