Yellow Pages
I just got my new (tiny) Yellow Pages last week and wondered if anyone still uses the Yellow Pages to look up phone numbers? I don't think I have for at least 10 yrs.
Mine went straight to the recycle bin.
My wife manages a retirement home and she says some of the residents still use the White Pages but even there no one uses the Yellow Pages.

They are good for target practice. Tape a bunch together and test penetration

Mine is so small now I'd have to tape 5 together to stop a .22.

Yes, I carry a phone book in my truck, and been glad that I do. I had a flat on a Saturday afternoon and a lot of tire stores close at noon, or aren't open on Saturday. It proved handy.

I still try to use them but--the ATT version is the pitts. WHAT is so darned difficult about listing certain stores in their proper catagories--like Best Buy for instance?as it took me forever to find their blasted number.I intensly dislike att--gimme Southwestern bell phone books anytime any day.P_-I havent seen a white pages in years. I guess they think everyone has the devices and knowhow--to look everything up on electronic gadgets.

We get one in Our Driveway about every Month so I do the Steve Martin routine (The new Phone Book's Here) from His Movie the Jerk for My Wife because for some reason She gets annoyed when it shows up.
