  • You can leave blank the fields that are optional, I have never filled the fax for any of my domains.

You don't say what TLD domain you are talking about but they are likely similar.



ICANN states the following:




When you register a domain name, you must give your registrar accurate
and reliable contact details, and correct and update them promptly if
there are any changes during the term of the registration period. This
obligation is part of your registration agreement with the registrar.



If you give wrong information on purpose, or don't update your
information promptly if there is a change, your domain name
registration may be suspended or even cancelled. This could also
happen if you don't respond to inquiries by your registrar if they
contact you about the accuracy of your contact information.




https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/whois-data-accuracy-2017-06-20-en




In the 2013 RAA, the Admin, Tech, and Registrant telephone numbers are each required to be present.




https://whois.icann.org/en/whoisars-validation-telephone



So the short answer to your question is no.

One-line joke

A one-liner is a joke that is delivered in a single line. A good one-liner is said to be pithy - concise and meaningful. [1] Comedians and actors use this comedic method as part of their act, e.g. Jimmy Carr, Tommy Cooper, Rodney Dangerfield, Norm Macdonald, Ken Dodd, Stewart Francis, Zach Galifianakis, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Jeselnik, Milton Jones, Shappi Khorsandi, Jay London, Mark Linn-Baker, Demetri Martin, Groucho Marx, Dan Mintz, Emo Philips, Tim Vine, Steven Wright and Henny Youngman and Arnold Schwarzenegger. [ citation needed ] Many fictional characters are also known to deliver one-liners, including James Bond, who usually includes pithy and laconic quips after disposing of a villain. [ citation needed ] Examples "A baby seal walks into a club." "A dyslexic man walks into a bra." (Anonymous) "There are three types of people, those who can count and those who can't." "Venison's dear, isn't it?" (Jimmy Carr) "An escala...
