Verizon Tech Accused Of Making $220K In Sex Calls On User Lines 218
Joseph Vaccarelli, a former Verizon Technician, has been charged with racking up $220,000 in phone-sex calls by tapping into the land lines of nearly 950 customers. Authorities say that he made approximately 5,000 calls, resulting in 45,000 minutes of call time. Verizon estimated that out of a 40-week period, Vaccarelli spent 15 weeks talking on sex lines. How in the world do you have this much phone sex, period, but especially at work, and not have anyone notice?

One day security installed a security camera in a stock room because they noticed that things "kept being moved around". Soon all became apparent.
All I can say is he may have lacked in duration but he made up in frequency!

Almost 94 continuous work days of phone sex. I feel terribly sorry for the janitor that cleans out his trash can.

This sentence should be taken out and shot (Score:5, Funny)
He should have tapped in somewhere later in the system, so his calls wouldn't get charged to a customer. But hey, maybe he wanted to get caught.
Also I wish to complain about this sentence from the summary. This sentence should be taken outside and shot:
It's a bad idea to start spelling out your punctuation. As you can see in the above sentence, the author has ended up with the word "period' surrounded by commas. "Period" is supposed to end a sentence. And it is supposed to be written as "." not spelled out with letters. Spelling out "period" in the middle of a sentence, and surrounding it with commas, is madness exclamation mark. See question mark? It's stupid. Please don't spell out the word "period", use the popular abbreviation: .

Hm. One hand holding the handset. One hand holding onto the telephone pole.
Yep, you're doing it wrong.
That's why it took him so long. Try substituting a dry-hump on a telephone pole for your hand-of-preference. It takes much longer.
Um... At least that's what I've heard...
