Phone Books

I know, I know, reading the phone book is a weird way to pass the time, but one day, I was looking up a number in the Yellow Pages and suddenly realized that here was more or less a name book. These were names of real people, of varying ages, who actually live in my area. A quick browse through the first few pages reveals some of the most obscure names I’ve ever heard. A lot of them, most of them really, are definitely not my style, but they’re all so unique that it seemed impossible not to share.
