* WhereTheHellIsSpringfield: JennysNumber gives the phone number with the exchange-number combination of 867-5309, but it doesn't reference an area code or a country code. Meaning that "Jenny" could be in ''any'' country (the US, Canada, many Caribbean countries, or a US territory such as Guam) that uses that phone number format. There's no telling ''which'' town or city, county, state, province, or country she's in from the number, though.
