A $218 trillion phone bill
From MSNBC.com:KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia - A Malaysian man said he nearly fainted when he received a U.S. $218 trillion phone bill and was ordered to pay up within 10 days or face prosecution. Yahaya Wahab said he disconnected his late father's phone line in January after he died and settled the 84-ringgit (U.S. $23) bill...Yahaya received a notice from the company's debt-collection agency in early April.

My thought is what freakin dumb, stupid, ignorant idiot at the telephone company decided to send this to the collection company w/o investigating it first. Even Bill Gates (worth $52 billion) can't pay that bill.

The phone company also might do well to remember that it's about five times the world economy, and maybe they ought to nullify the bill and politely thank the gentleman for bringing a serious screw-up to their attention.
I usually like to give people the benefit of the doubt so maybe the phone company have illiterate people working for them, illiterate people who can't read numbers.
