Busted!
FOUND by Laura
in Fayetteville, North Carolina
Found near a telephone. Although it is possibly written in two different hands, I just love the idea of "1-900-you're-busted!" I also appreciate the correct use of the apostrophe.

We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
Yay for good grammar.
dude. i love when i see stuff from NC on here. LOL it gives me a little thrill, like, "hey, we ARE connected with the rest of the country!" LOL
hahaha.. priceless
YES! I completely agree... using "your" as "you're" is one of my biggest pet peeves - and it doesn't help that so many people make that mistake. Kudos to the author here.
In my imagination, what went down here is the following:
Girl suspects her man is cheating on her. Girl hires hot looking succubus to try and seduce him the next time he goes out to the club. Guy asks succubus for her phone number. Succubus writes the following note, hands it to him, and tells the girl.
Muhhuuuuuuaaaaahuahahahahahahah!
Perhaps this is a warning since it was found on a phone. As in "don't make 1-900 calls here because you'll get busted." This find kind of sucks... sorry.
1-900-Ya Got Me!
Lovin the apostrophe
jo, we are NOT connected with the rest of the country. sadly. very, very sadly.
:)
I hate when I get busted using my red pen in a phone booth. Especially with one of those 1-900 numbers. It's so embarrassing.
It raises the question that has plagued man since the beginning of time...Is phone sex considered cheating?
Apparently someone thinks so.
I tried calling, but couldn't find an ! on the telephone keypad.
Please leave your moral assumptions at the door. Maybe they was calling one of those sports handicapping 900 numbers............ oh wait.
LOL! I love it! The idea that someone would call a 1-900# in a phone booth too is kind of funny as well.
"Please deposit more money now to continue your sexy chat!"
This is really funny. The proper use of the apostrophe is also refreshing.
Maybe it's the number of a new P.I. Service: "Just call 1-900-U-R-Busted and your relationship will be over w/in 24hrs or your money back!"
I am totally drawn in by the really nice looking paper....oh wait. It's a napkin? And the red pen rears its ugly head again....will it ever stop?
Maybe this is the number you call if you accidentally left your gun, wallet, and ID on a coffee table and you were tied up by a whorey looking Iraqi woman. (Yeah I realize how can you call someone when you are tied up).
Call 1-900-GRA-MMAR and let me tell you how sexy an apostrophe can be. Once you've got a taste for the ellipsis, you'll want to try the virgule. Ooooohhhhhhhh! Dash to your phone; call me now.
Jan Rocks! That was awesome. Am I a dork because I understood that without having to do to my dictionary?
What's a phone booth???
Rachel - without having to do WHAT to your dictionary?
I have to admit, I needed to look up "virgule." Think how cool it would have been if the guy from Guns N' Roses had called himself Virgule instead. Maybe we can convince him to change his name, quit that shitty Velvet Revolver band, and start up a punctuation-core band.
Oh, and Jan - that was pretty bad, that pun about dashing to the phone.
Flargy: I am responding asterisk of being ridiculed again for making bad puns. As for your idea for a band, it needs a female lead named Tilde.
Thank GOODNESS for the correct use of the apostrophe! Phew, I don't know what I would have done!
hehe- I love the grammar nazi comments everyda. I guess they get a rest today though.
Might I recommend Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation for all of you gung-ho grammar lovers?
Yo Flarg, why don't ya come en join us in da creatin' of da punc-band, since ya's already got da' namin' down an' everythin'. We could be da' beginnin' of da' punc-band revolution. Watcha thinkin'? You'ld even be da' 1 an' onla' Virgule em'self - who could dis a slantin' bar anyway?
OH I LOVE IT when people use proper punctuation... It makes me happy to know I'm not the only one who can use them, as well as spell the different yours.
I don't recall seeing an apostrophe on the phone.
Obviously someone started to write down the number, realized it was a 900 # and gave up, left the napkin, and the next person to see i felt funny and added you're busted.
Either I am seriously cracking up or we have had this one before: http://www.foundmagazine.com/find/454
and it only got ONE comment that time!
Holy shit, Jonathan. You busted FOUND.
What ho, Turbo! Caught you skulking among the old Finds! Nice and quiet down here, isn't it. (What is a Thunderdome, by the way?)
Reminds me of my daughter's response when a man tried to pick her up at the airport: "Sure I'll give you my number -- 1-800-my-father-will-kill-you.
