Regarding this bit from the White Album showtape:
Fatz's Joke Line - Fatz's Joke line was 1-800-362-FATZ - the joke was that when someone went to call the number they'd find out they couldn't because phones don't have the letters Q or Z on them. However most phones today do include these letters making the joke obsolete.
I just heard this bit on Radio Showbiz and curiosity got the better of me; so I Googled the modern equivalent of that number (1-800-362-3289) just to see if it was registered to any business these days; and that number now belongs to a resort in... Naples, FL.
Just thought that was sort of interesting.
(And no, please don't call the number and bother them!).
