First of all, you have to prove that you're PLA material. You must complete

   hell alone. (...) 
4. Must harrass a voicemail company and their customers to the point of putting 
   them totally out of business. 
5. Find a telco box, paint it red, piss on it and take a picture of it. 

PLA Characteristics: 
------------------- 
Members of the PLA must have certain characteristics and must be able to do 
certain things that make them a true Phone Loser. If you're missing one or  
more of the following traits, please don't pursue this application any further 
and come back when you're worthy. 

1. You must be able to make a phone ring with the wave of your hand.

3. If phone company security ever decides to investigate you, you have to make 
   them wish they had never started by ruining their life. 
4. You must be able to hassal Chris Tomkinson in your sleep. 
5. Checks from the AT&T Refund Center in Jacksonville, Florida should be 
   arriving at your house by the crateloads. 
6. On an average day, you spend at least two hours cooped up in a phone booth, 
   dialing random numbers around the world, harrassing people for fun. 
7. You must be able to construct a red box blindfolded and with your hands 
   tied behind your back. 
8. Have the entire script to the movie "Wargames" memorized. (Who doesn't??)

answered all the test questions and you feel that you meet the criteria, mail

us. Be sure to include your name, address and phone number so we'll be able to

Thanks for your time!
