What a great story:
Crystal Butts doesn't mind taking orders from her boss.
Ok, I know this sounds like some kind of porn strike, but it's not. It's your typical case of phone-book mistaken identity. But it sounds fun, don't it?
Butts said her family is a victim of immovable corporate bureaucracy, with the SBC Yellow Pages erroneously listing her home number as that of My Thai Restaurant - and not changing it after 18 months of asking.

"It gets pretty bad," she said. "I've been called stupid because people want me to answer questions I can't answer because I'm not the My Thai."

Butts and her family got the phone number when they moved to Amarillo in July 2004. As soon as their phone was installed, they started getting phone calls, she said.

"And we've called and called both phone books, and they said they would take care of it," Butts said. "Well, when the new phone books came out, it wasn't changed.
For the last time, people. Butts isn't My Thai. Any questions?

But(t) seriously, would this have made the news if her name wasn't Butts? I think not.
