Your city only has 4 digit phone numbers??? Where do live??? The place phones were invented???

(That joke would play better if everyone knew where phone numbers were first installed, and I could just say the city name....ok, let me try something else)

Where do you live??? In Alexander Gram Bell's living room???

Meh.

Germany in the 1980's. In the first few years we even had to share the line with our upstairs neighbours, their number was one removed from ours.

But four digit numbers were pretty common back then.

Ah yes, good ol phone number of 1

ETA: Why'd you downvote me? Did I accidentally dox you?? Fine, we'll pretend like your phone number is 2
