Probably to roll a joint on 10+ years ago.


ETA:. Actually I probably used it to look up menus for Togo orders more recent than that, or maybe immediately thereafter. But it's been awhile still.

Find that preferable to the Sears Catalog or corn cobs?

They still drop them off on the front porch. They go directly to the recycle bin.

Same here. Except for the time we were out of town for the weekend and the dog got ahold of it. My entire front yard was covered with the yellow pages.

Last used for what they were intended in 2005.

If I knew of a way to opt out of gettIng those things thrown on my driveway, I would.

I didn't use it but I watched my neighbor use it during the flood in August. No power, no internet, no cell service but she still had a working land line. She used the phone book to look up the number to Demco to find out when the electricity was going to come back on.

Probably the only people still using phone books are the only ones answering surveys
