Is there some law that says AT&T is required to deliver waaaaaaay too many phone books to San Francisco households every year? Could be.
If there is, wouldn’t it be easier for all concerned if instead of leaving all these unwanted phone books out in the rain for day after day, week after week, AT&T could just have its workers deliver them directly to the recycling bins out back?

What’s that, AT&T? People still love your phone books? No they don’t.
Obviously, there’s profit to be had, somehow, in this annual exercise, so oh well.
