Reach out and touch someone....

In the U.S., there exists such a creature as "Voice Mail Hell." You call a number, you're routed through five hundred and thirty one options, and after ten minutes, you leave a message on someone's voice mail... likely their 45th voice mail of the day that will never be returned. Ugh.

In American Samoa, there exists such a creature as "Ring Till You Die." And in this case, a company just refuses to pick up the phone. They allow the phone to ring until the telephone company automatically disconnects the call. Sometimes, a kind receptionist will pick up the call and immediately hang up, thus ceasing the incessant ringing.

Same result, different philosophies. Pick your poison.

Please operator
See what you can do,
I dialed the right number
But I still couldn't get through
Could you just check the line
Just one more time if you can
I'm pretty sure her phone
Wouldn't be answered by no man

Mr. Telephone Man
There's something wrong with
My line
When I dial my baby's number
I get a click everytime
Mr. Telephone Man,
Something's wrong with my line
I try to dial her number
I get a click everytime
