Unlucky telephone number...

TASER International, Inc.
Steve Tuttle, Vice President of Communications
Media ONLY Hotline: (480) 444-4000

Buildings in Asia often skip not only the 13th floor, but they also skip over any floor number with the numeral "4" (四). The reason is that, in the Chinese and other Asian cultures, the numeral four is considered to be very unlucky. It's because it sounds like "DEATH" (死). [LINK]

So if you need to call Steve, just remember:
(480) DEATH DEATH DEATH - DEATH-THOUSAND


You couldn't even make this sh_t up.


Hey, don't blame the messenger. It's your telephone number. I didn't pick it.
