I never said anything about calling without a reason. ALL I SAID WAS
I CAN LEGALLY CALL ANY NUMBER IN THE PHONE BOOK AND NOT GET PUT IN JAIL     
FOR DOING IT. IF I CALL THE POLICE EMERGENCY NUMBER I BETTER HAVE A    
DAMN GOOD REASON, OF COURSE.

So what if I have an unlisted number? I still get the shit calls because
they don't use the phone book. They dial sequentially.

If you had a unlisted phone number it wouldn't be in the goddamn phone
book would it? I'm not talking about autodialing. I hate that also. My
wife works from ONLY a phone book.
