haha favorited
COOOL i rated that full!!
Interesting one!
I laughed when I read the answer. So simple yet so clever...Great teaser
thx guys.. i actually thought this'll be corny
Very funny!! I didn't come up with the answer
Its more like a joke but its really good one of my favs!
Since when has an exclaimation mark infered yelling?
definitely didn't get it but that was creative!
Yeah, I was never gonna get that but it made so much sense after I re-read the title. I thought it said zero! zero! zero!
i never though zero zero,.. lol i jus didnt guess.. i drew a blank! i thought it was cute!!!! i laugh alot wen i read the answer.. very clever!
it was kinda corny but very cute!!!!!!!
The word "infamous" threw me off.
Since it means "having an extremely bad reputation" it doesn't make sense that the Yellow Pages would be described as such. The Yellow Pages is a famous book, but not infamous. The concept of the Teaser is good, but the use of infamous in the clue was bad.

The "infamous" thing made me think of "The Story of O". I was so sure I had got it right!
I'm with Thel, I immediately thought of the Story of O, and the infamous part seemed to confirm it.
With infamous, I thought of the series of unfortunate events, with Count Olaf...but that's a series, and it doesn't fit perfectly with the rebus...
My second guess was that it would be a book that was banned at one point or another (the only banned book I could think of was The Catcher in the Rye...which also didn't fit...)
But once I saw the answer...I was amazed at how cleverly you had the answer stuck in there! Good Job! Keep creating more good teasers like this one!!
BTW, Mad-Ade, exclamation points have always been inferred to be exclamations, which are usually shouted out...Plus, the Os are in capitals, not lowercase, which also denotes shouting.

I didn't think twice -- thought for sure it was "The Story of O"
Have to agree with luckypuppy, this was very creative, and I didn't get it either.
Great teaser! I didn't realize so many people have minds like mine- I also thought of The Story of O.
liked it!
LOL, I thought Story of "O" too
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thought of the Story of O!
Agree with all who said "infamous" lead them down the wrong path.... Also, rebus teasers are my favorite, but this one was too big a s-t-r-e-t-c-h even for me. Sorry.
An exclamation point means to exclaim, not necessarily to yell. And pages, having no mouths, don't yell. I found this to be a poor teaser.
Didn't get it either, even with the helpful "Call Me" title as a clue....
I didn't stand a chance with that one!
I'm glad to see I am not the only one that thought this was a bit of stretch for a rebus teaser.
I didn't get it either. Did anyone?
Ya got me again
Isn't infamous beyond famous or something. It does not mean not
famous. (I think this confused some people) Trying to help!
When I saw the answer I loved it

Thought it was very clever My mind immediatately went to telephone unfortunately it could go no further but when i saw the answer i was properly rebuked. thx.
I usually love rebus teaser, but not so much with this one.
Three pages does not represent the whole book.
And agree with others it is not imfomous.

It's only "infamous" when you don't know how to use it.
Very easy, and very fun!! Thanks
grooooaan!
Of course it doesn't represent the whole book...and I think they were going for just 'pages' instead of 'page'. Really good teaser
No good it was!
it took me a while to understand
I went with the story of O too and agree the word "infamous" was a miscue.
Very Clever took me awhile to get
Missed it, didn't even consider the title. I thought it was a thre page book - maybe the three pigs or some such wrong answer.
Cute, clever, and got me good I loved it
Uhh, infamous? No wonder I didn't get it. Clever otherwise, though.
Oh, oh, oh! I get it now!!
Brilliant! Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant!!
I agree with Mad-Ade. Now, if it had said, "Page 1, at 80 decibels: 'Oh'", that would have made more sense.
I also have to agree with those who disagreed that the book was "infamous".
Oh well. Cool teaser!

the title of the teaser should have been a hint to me... but i was oblivious... didnt get it 'til i saw the answer... great play on words...
