The other thing to be concerned about back then was your parents listening in on the kitchen wall phone while you took your call on the upstairs phone.....

True story:  A kid is out partying with his friends, but he's supposed to be home.  His home has a phone in the living room, one downstairs and an extension in the parent's bedroom upstairs.  He's late, so he knows his parents are already in bed.  So, he calls home, and when his mom picks it up from the bedroom, he says "I got it Mom!"
The idea that a four-year degree is the only path to worthwhile knowledge is insane.

Well, what if she was grabbing a late night snack in the kitchen (or waiting from him to come home on the living room couch) and picked up the living room phone? If that was the case, the "I got it Mom" takes on a whole 'nother meaning, I'm sure he got it.

I forgot to add that his room is downstairs and a phone down there.  The rest of the story goes that it only worked once.  Apparently the parents found out and then he had to tell them in person when he got home.

A phone phanatic since I was less than 2 (thanks to Fisher Price); collector since a teenager; now able to afford to play!
Favorite Phone: Western Electric Trimline - it just feels right holding it up to my face!

Number, please!

Thanks for posting!  When I read the comics this morning, I had the same thought.

Taco Bell, that was a subsidiary of Southwestern Bell if memory serves correct.  ;D

Here's where I first saw that term used. Someone's idea of what all the Bell companies should have been renamed after divestiture. I think I saved it from eBay once.

Oh I like that! Was there an extra toll charge for connecting to Hell's Bell?
