A Yellow Pages warning joke?

by Walter Olson on September 15, 2005

Our friend Dave Boaz of the Cato Institute writes to say:

Our Verizon Superpages this year came with a reduced-size version labeled “SuperPages Companion Directory.” Just below the title it says:

A reduction in ad size may affect legibility.
Caution: Not for use while operating a moving vehicle.

Do you think that’s just a little joke by an Overlawyered reader at Verizon?

More: Reader Pete Madsen writes, “No, not a joke. My wife’s a Realtor, and I’ve seen too many of her colleagues’ cars with phone books in them.”
