We haven’t covered one of these in a while, but check out this strange and unusual auction for a telephone number made famous by Tommy Tutone. When “Jenny” was released in 1987 her number instantly became the top target of crank callers. According to the eBay listing and snopes.com the phone companies throughout North America have been grandfathering the number and now very few remain. Sadly, it appears as though Jenny’s days on the telephone are numbered.

If I ran an exclusive brothel featuring only 18 year old nubile girls of Eastern European extraction, I would buy that number for the front desk phone.
