The joke is all well and good, but more importantly, it tells me that 519 is not reserved for landlines like I had previously assumed. (I suspect that 519’s are indeed disproportionately landlines and 226’s disproportionately cells, but clearly it is not a sure thing.)

(I keep meaning to learn more about how ID numbers (phones and license plates mostly) work and what information one can glean from them by looking at them.)
