Phone Directory Error Turns "Day Spa" Into "Gay Spa"
<snip>

Deb Royle welcomes clients of any sexual orientation at her day spa.

But that's day spa, with a D.

A typo in the new Verizon phone directory paints a misleading picture. Royle's Manlius business, A Royal Treatment, is the first one advertised under Beauty Salons.

According to the ad, it is "A RELAXING GAY SPA."

The ad has prompted about three calls a day, Royle said.

There are the jokers who leave snickering messages. There are serious inquiries about whether Royal Treatment is a bath house. (It is not.)

And there are calls asking if straight people are still welcome.

1. Manlius?
That didn't help the misunderstanding I am sure.
