Technically yeah, but from what the others have said, maybe they have to call it that to qualify for funds? I dunno...looks like Mtown is the expert!

I think I was maybe in high school before I had to dial anything other than the last 4 digits to reach someone in my hometown. And I think I was a sophomore or junior before we got our first push-button phone. FYI, calling an automated system with a rotary phone.....it didn't work so well.
The opposite scenario for me (pushbutton before having to dial the full 7 digits), my dad got a cordless phone for like 10 years at his company when we were in junior high, but you could still just dial the last 4 of the number.
The bad part was that this was an early cordless phone, so it had a lag for it to connect, and my mom's work phone number at the time was 3911 for the last digits, and if you weren't very deliberate to wait for everything to sync, it'd drop the 3, so you'd dial 911. The first time it happened, when they answered, I freaked and hung up, so they sent the town cop out, the timing worked out such that he was sitting in our driveway when my mom got home from work...that was fun to explain. Later, I did the same thing, but realized it because it was ringing differently, so I hung up before anyone answered...whew...about 10 minutes later when the cop showed up again, I learned that they don't have to answer to register a call.
Later that night, my mom programmed the first speed dial into the phone, her work number with the entire 7 digits.
We used to have to dial 9 to get an outside line here at work. After numerous 911 calls, they changed it to 7.
Over the years, I've learned that Kansas City, KS cops have a very limited sense of humor. ESPECIALLY the female ones.
Female + handcuffs = possible fun
Angry female + handcuffs + gun = 1 phone call

Campus went from 9 to 8 as the link to non campus lines. From one campus phone to another we can still dial the last 5 digits.
But you probably never had the experience of using a rotary phone like many of us did!
Stupidest question in the world:
"Would you like a lid for your blizzard?"
No, *****, I figured I'd let it melt in me car.

Earlier this year at McDonalds, I ordered one ice cream cone and the lady asked me if it was "to go"
He wanted to sound as tough as possible when smartmouthing the high school kid working the DQ drive-thru window, so he went pirate.
And cubsy...you have to realize that the drive thru ice cream place regularly deals with people who treat a large blizzard like their kids eat those nasty gogurt tubes, they just put the top of the cup in their mouth and squeeze it down. If you give them a lid, they get winded pulling it off and get frustrated.
Sorry, I have that really annoying vine of that stupid girl who has her moms car. If you haven't seen it' it's gone pretty viral. And she's made enough money to actually buy her own car.

I love having my antenna break on my iPhone thus not allowing any wireless thus going to cost me over 200 bucks for a new phone.
I only weigh myself in the morning. Lost a couple inches off my waist but the weight is only a little smaller. Don't look at the scale everyday, it's a bad idea
This is another good vine.
