YIPL: Letters to the Editor Dear YIPL: Here's my request for a subscription to your monthly newsletter. I wrote to Abbie last week after reading his "Steal This Book': I told him of a way to pick up loose change from the phone co. Immediately after someone has paid for a long distance call, you enter the booth and drop another dime or slug and call a number you know will be busy. You can call the next booth if there are two, Just leave the phone off the hook. If you are quick like a rabbit, and drop the dime be fore the previous caller's money drops when you then hang up af ter a busy signal, you'll get your slug back and all the change the first guy dropped. Naturally you should then mail it to the phone company in order to stay honest. P.H. Phoenixville, Pa. YIPL TIP-Another number that will be busy is the one you're on, so dial the one that's staring you in the face. Also, if you're the guy who was in first, it's even easier to put in a dime at the end of your call & get your bread back, 'cause you don't have to rush into the booth. You're already there! Hi-- Yeah, put us on the list for phone info. Operators in this area are starting to ask credit card callers from phone booths the area code of the city in which the card is issiued. In other words, say some varmit is calling on phony # 536-8445-007-H, the operator will want to know what city (007=Boston, right?) and it's area code (617)? Mad Funk Collective, Tucson.
