Hi, sexy.

In response to a mortgage foreclosure debate and with a desire to express his opinion, a Maryland man (who probably considers himself to be an active and engaged citizen) looked up and called the number listed in the phone book for the Governor's Office. A woman answered the phone and greeted him by saying "Hi, sexy."

Fortunately, secretaries at political offices around the nation have not merely decided that this is an appropriate way to greet callers. Apparently, the number for the Governor's Office is misprinted in the latest edition of the telephone book (as well as an earlier edition, which means the misprint has been there for two years)--the printed number connects with an adult phone service. Oopsie. Let's hope that Maryland citizens are using more modern technology to contact their state leaders, and that the Governor's Office isn't ringing as infrequently as this guy's experience would suggest.
