Glad I could be of service!

Well, yes. But it's less funny that way...unless LSD came from the phone

P.S. Here's another good one for you:

    Experts tell us that if the Millennium Bug is not fixed,
    when the year 2000 arrives, our financial records will
    be inaccurate, our telephone system will be unreliable,
    our government will be paralyzed and airline flights will
    be canceled without warning. In other words, things
    will be pretty much the same as they are now.
