Duck Stamp Includes Phone-Sex Number

The Minneapolis-St. Paul Star Tribune reports that the the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service says it has no choice but to reluctantly keep distributing to millions of waterfowl hunters a toll-free phone-sex number.

About 3.5 million federal "duck stamps" are affixed to a card that bears the misprinted number.

All waterfowl hunters age 16 and older must buy and carry the current Migratory Bird Conservation and Hunting Stamp, commonly known as the duck stamp. Sales of the stamp raise about $25 million each year to fund wetland habitat acquisition for the national Wildlife Refuge System.

Rachel Levin, a Fish and Wildlife spokeswoman, is quoted as saying the misprint, "an unfortunate typographical error" that her agency really regrets. She added that the agency will keep selling the $15 stamps with the naughty number because reprinting the card would cost too much.
