Both sides vulnerable.  
South deals.

     Bridge, like so many other games, has a language all it's
own.  When you are doubled and beaten for a large score you are
said to have "gone for a telephone number".  The opponents have
"rung you up".   When you have to explain all of this to team
mates it can usually be summed up as having "dialed long
distance".  All you have to do to qualify for these designations
is to have a four digit score either for or against you.
     Look at the South hand today and decide whether or not you
would open this hand in first seat, vulnerable.  My guess is that
many players today would open this hand.  I held the East cards
and to be very honest, South deserved a better fate.  The opening
bid was passed around to me and I felt that the East hand was so
strong that I should start with a double and move on from there. 
If I had been holding the West cards I probably would have bid
two no trump or three diamonds which would lead to a no trump
game.  My partner had loftier visions and let the double stand
for penalty.
     After an opening lead of the ace of clubs followed by a
small club, won by the king, I switched to my singleton diamond. 
Declarer played the jack and as a result, managed to scorte only
three tricks.  Down four was worth eleven hundred points.  Not a
very big telephone number, but good enough for a top score. 
Allowing the opponents to play one level contracts, doubled, is
very risky business.  And very exciting when you "ring them
up".
