Steyn's Request of the Week, on the glorious efficiency of Bell Canada.

[JRandomFreeper]

30 years ago, the joke was that half of france was waiting on a call, and the other half was waiting on the municipal phone company.

I've never had a reason to call france, so I don't know.

Maybe communism would have made the french more efficient. And that's sad....
