But I still wonder why (if it's true; I don't have a phone so I don't
get phone bills) someone hasn't put in at least a band-aid:

	if cost > $10000 then
		write message to console
			"Hey, there's something funny about this phone bill"
		save bill in file "odd.bills"
	else
		print phone bill
	endif

(Note that this involves only a small change to the software used to
*print* the bill.  Surely that would not be difficult!)

Something like this might help prevent heart attacks on the part of
the customer receiving the bill, and also help the phone co. catch
such problems earlier.
