I have a phone here on campus. My very own phone. Local calling is free and I rejected the long distance plan, so as long as I don’t make any long distance calls (which I don’t), I pay no money. You would think that, because of this, Bell would not send me any bills. You would also think wrong.

In fact, I wish everyone would pay me this courtesy. I can hardly sleep some nights, tossing and turning over whether I should be paying the Toronto Sun, despite the fact that I’ve never actually purchased a newspaper. I thought it only fair that I should put the minds of Bell Canada at ease as well and send them this:
