One system which instructed users to press 1 for Q or Z was a movie
rating service.  (I have forgotten whether it was a 900 number or
otherwise.)

And in 1988 I heard (via this Digest) of a FAILED vice-presidential
telephone poll.  The candidates in question were Bentsen and Quayle,
and callers were to press B or Q as the case may be.
