It must be a Conspiracy!!!

I just noticed that my Wbcci # is the last four digits of my phone Number. What's up with that????

Is it a coincidence?? Me think'ith not. Wbcci big brother is watching..

Mine's not even close. If you don't like it, you can ask for them to change it. Give Cindy a call at HQ and it can be changed by the weekend.

I do kinda like the idea though, makes it easy to find your trailer after a late night, if you know what I mean!

the home office has done this for DECADES...

it's a mem'aid for the old 4getful folks who join up, then get LOST at the big rallez...

so the home office will OFTEN suggest the "last 4 phone" or street address numbers...

again they've done this for decades and it is reminiscent of the old style nursing homes and hospital wards...

we'd often run a strip of bandage TAPE across the backs of the robes or pajamas of the 'wandering confused patients'...

with the words...if found please return me to room XXX at st. eligius hospital...

of course THAT would be in poor taste now...
________

here's another true story,

i was denied membership 30 years ago with a classsic moho, they weren't ALLOWED yet...

8-10 years LATER after moho approval, an invite came to join with a mem' number that matched my home address...

"NO THANKS" was my reply, on both accounts.

6 years ago i joined and they suggest the 'home phone' crap...

"no thanks", again was my reply to the number offered.

their 2nd suggestion this time around ....?

my home address from 25 YEARS AGO...

those old broads running the store never forget...

and the club has PLENTY of wandering confused members now, that NEED these aids...

cheers

"51" is in my phone number.

Now I know why the space aliens keep landing here, and they sure know how to party!

I thought it was a coincidence also. Our street address is 274 so I know that's where part of our numbers must have come from.

....6274

How did they know your SSN?

Surely it was pure coincidence.

Nothing about the wbcci is coincidence, They have more spies than the Obama administrations.

I too got my last four home address digits and thought it was coincidence. I'd requested a couple of numbers but they weren't available and then it dawned on me that this was, in effect, my address, and I thought hey, this is great, easy to remember.

I'm one of those people who could probably use tape on my back that says "if found wandering around your trailer tell him his wife is calling and he'll dash off and quit bothering you"

So it doesn't bother me. I think it is kinda funny that I didn't pick it up right away, the old DUH!!!! moment. But then my Flying Cloud flies neked. No numbers. I don't need 'em to know I'm a member nor to remember the number.

They must REALLY be big brother, because I bought my trailer with the last 4 numbers of our business phone number. They must read the future!!! I've never been a member either.......

Geez, if I'm lucky, I could conceivably reach the age of my s/n (71 73) on my trailer, two times. If I'm lucky. Real lucky and I'd also have to quit telling those horrible jokes around my wife. One of these days she's going to get tired of those stale old jokes I keep thinking are funny and become a wealthy widow.

When we bought our used AS, a PO'ers numbers ended in '666'...perhaps they had been excommunicated...

My WBCCI number is also my zip code ... Punxsutawney, 15767. That way I can always find my way back home (not that I always want to....). If I leave, or get kicked out of the club, my number is ALWAYS valid !! (unless I move!)

I just noticed my former numbers have NOTHING to do with me at all. No coincidence there...

36 24 36? Tom... is this meant to be a disguised Valentine's Day compliment for the person "sitting next to you?"
