This reads like something from vintage MAD Magazine! Grumblat, really? I miss the old phone booths where Clark Kent could disrobe in peace.
ReplyDeleteI remember those old phone booths everywhere! and the town pharmacy had a WOOD phone booth!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to go back to those days.
ReplyDeleteCell phones are the Devil's workshop.

Old man conversion? Complete!
We're going to have to call you "OMS"
DeletePlease do so! I'll wear the moniker with pride!
DeleteLazy dials were the bane of my childhood. Seriously, I remember being annoyed by phone numbers with lots of 0's and high numbers in them, like 878-9000.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Most of the dials were made of relatively comfortable plastic, but we had an older phone in our basement that had a thin metal dial that cut into your finger, especially on those 9's and 0's! --Jim
DeleteAnd those old metal dials were painful...
