I was fixing up an L31 pedestal and enclosure today to bring to my apartment.  My 2 and a half year old daughter Kaitlyn was "helping".  As soon as I put the enclosure on the pedestal she started telling me "I want to get in it, I want to get in it!"  So, I helped her "in" it and took a picture.   I brought it home and put it together in my living room a couple hours ago.  It also has a nice Bell System marked 1D2 in it now instead of a little girl.  When we were at my shop(where the photo was taken) I had her pick out the payphone she wanted.  She looked at a couple then popped up and said "That one has  bell!" and pointed to the Bell logo on the faceplate.  She picked a good one.  My girlfriend would have never let me bring it home if it wasn't for Kaitlyn wanting one.  Needless to say, I'm super proud of my little girl!  :)

Not if you are a western US telecom! I liked the modification of USWest to USWorst from a number of years back!
