Many years ago, I bought an Old Home that had new homes all around. I was digging for a sidewalk and I had all utilities located.

First dig--cut two phone lines. I thought no problem I can splice it back together and the other one is probably an old line.

To be sure, I made a good waterproof splice for both lines after calling the phone company who stated it might be a couple of days before they could come out.

I checked my phone and had a signal.

Later that day, my next door neighbor walked over and asked if my phone was working correctly. I stated I thought so, and asked why.

He said that he had got two phone calls asking for me?

You guessed it--I had cross repaired the two lines.

No big problem and we had a good laugh.

Next day, phone company made repair.
