Fun fact about the New England Telephone time & temperature number -- you could dial 637 and any four numbers. I remember a friend said to dial NERVOUS (which translated to 637-8687), but eventually I'd always just dial 637-1111 because it was easiest.

Yup. Mermaid or Nervous. I liked to use Mermaid. Needed the stimulus of looking for the letters. Probably wouldn’t have that problem today.
