TODAY IN SEX (10/4/08)

DUCK SEASON! (WRABBIT SEASON!)
Another phone-sex typo, this time from the good folks at the US Post Office. Duck season is open in the north and, to be legal, waterfowl hunters age 16 and older must buy and carry the Migratory Bird Conservation and Hunting Stamp, commonly known as "the duck stamp." This year's version, sold by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, includes a phone number for people who want to order more. But there's twist: The correct number, 1-800-782-6724, translates to 1-800-STAMP24. But the version being sold has two transposed digits, translating to "1-800-TRAMP24." That will hook you up with "Intimate Connections," $1.99 a minute phone-sex line.

LIKE SAUDI WOMEN NOT BEING ALLOWED TO DRIVE…
Australian girls were warned Wednesday that playing the Aboriginal musical instrument, the didgeridoo, could lead to infertility. The debate about was sparked by the publication of an Australian edition of "The Daring Book for Girls" which includes instructions on how to play the long, tubular instrument. Something called the Victorian Aboriginal Education Association said that telling how to play the instrument was "an extreme cultural indiscretion" and "part of a general ignorance that mainstream Australia has about Aboriginal culture." They've called for the book to be banned. Nice. HaperCollins, cowtowing to what strikes us, at first glance anyway, at some pretty appalling sexism, has agreed to remove the offending chapter.

JOE DIRT'S A DAD
Sardonic comedian David Spade has announced, Jerry Springer-style, that he is indeed the father of a baby born to his ex-girlfriend, Playboy Playmate Jillian Grace. Earlier this year, Grace announced she was pregnant with the actor's baby. Spade said he'd take responsibility--- if a paternity test proved he was the father. Well, the DNA has spoken and the magical and the world might just have a new Playmate circa, 2040. Or another comedian. Or, maybe, the first ever comedian Playmate. Kendra doesn't count.
