The best part of
this story is that "the agency has not received any complaints."
People calling a federal phone number to order duck stamps are instead greeted by a phone-sex line, due to a printing error the government says would be too expensive to correct.
The carrier card for the duck stamp transposes two numbers, so instead of listing 1-800-782-6724, it lists 1-800-872-6724. The first number spells out 1-800-STAMP24, while the second number spells out 1-800-TRAMP24.
People calling that second number are welcomed by "Intimate Connections" and enticed by a husky female voice to "talk only to the girls that turn you on," for $1.99 a minute.
Quack, quack, baby.

A stamp collection commemorating porn stars would sell great.
To back it up with a phone sex line could put the USPS in the black overnight.
The same thing happened several years ago with a CNN phone #. It was something like 1-800-CNN-CALL vs. 1-800-CALL-CNN.
