My area-code is 610 which I pronounce as six-ten. Humans have no problem with that, but voice-response systems don’t seem to be able to handle it since they don’t have a ten key.

If Rufus isn’t breathing he’ll be long dead before this idiot gets him any help.

Sadly despite the promise of someone finally dying in this strip they won’t.
