Back in the 70s and 80s, I used to answer phones on PBS pledge nights. We used to get all kinds of creeps, calling up to say all kinds of foul things. We had no way, in those days, of identifying them, so they could say really clever things like, "How many hairs have you got on your pussy?" anonymously. If there was a black person making the pledge pitch, we would always get some racist comments along with the obscenities. Give some people an opportunity to comment anonymously, they'll say all kinds of crude, disgusting things. (By the way, my response to the pussy query was, "I left my cat at home.)
