A friend of mine got a telephone number that previously belonged to a
building supplies company (they moved to a different exchange). He got
several telephone calls for the company. After getting tired of it he
called the company and offered them to give their new number to the
callers in exchange for a 10% discount on any purchase. They agreed.
