People calling a federal phone number to order $15 duck stamps --required to hunt migratory waterfowl-- are instead reaching "Intimate Connections" and are being enticed to "talk only to the girls that turn you on" for $1.99.
The mix-up came after a printing error on the carrier card for the stamps; instead of reading 1-800-782-6724, it lists 1-800-872-6724. The first number spells out 1-800-STAMP24, while the second number spells out 1-800-TRAMP24.You know, I'm glad they didn't try to spell out "duck" with that phone number - it might have ended up even raunchier...
Proceeds from the cards go toward purchasing waterfowl habitat for the National Wildlife Refuge System. Officials said reprinting the cards would cost $300,000 and it likely would not be remedied. Those dialing by letter would reach the correct number and the typo was only printed on self-adhesive versions of the stamp.
