So, let's say you went and bought a cell phone. That would mean you'd get a new cell phone number. And as sometimes happens, you don't get a fresh, spanking new number. No, you get somebody's old number. But they gave it up recently enough that people still call you, thinking it's them.

Pretty damn annoying, eh?

OK... Now, imagine that instead of any ol' recycled number, you got Chris Rock's number.

What do you think would happen? What kind of calls do you think you'd get?

Here's where you can check your notes. Because someone says this actually happened to them, and has written it up.

If true, we learn that Jack Nicholson and Jerry Seinfeld are such stuck up putzes that they can't be bothered to make their own calls to a fellow celebrity's cell phone. Even when asking favors. And that Adam Sandler is a fairly straight-up kinda guy.
