Last Kiss by John Lustig for February 28, 2022

Not for those of us that still have one.

He’s calling back way too soon.

But you can get a iphone ringtone which sounds like the old phone.

Harpies are shrill

Here are some of today’s kids trying to use a rotary dial phone. Although the last phone is a bit different, it is still a rotary dial phone.:

Thank you for the Ukrainian Flag Mr. Lustig.

Whaddya mean, you old talk on it?

Who talks on the phone?

I saw a phone booth in a club recently. No phone in it, just a quiet place you can use your cell.

It’s amazing how heavy those old Bakealite handsets are ! Remember party lines ?

I actually didn’t mind those.. til I had a modem and would get line noise every time someone picked up the handset!

That’s my ringtone. Now if only there was an app that made a loud clanging sound when you want to hang up with a slam.

One ring-y ding-g….

Even cellphones make awful sounds. And you can’t get away from them.

It’s a phone. You know, the thing you use to take pictures and send text messages.

There are those of us who knew how to use a desk or wall phone that did not have either a TouchPad or a rotary dial.

Or when someone put a lock on a rotary dial of their phone. Yes, that was a thing.

And what a party line was.

And what a trunk call was (and no, it has nothing to do with the phone in the third video in the post @littlejohn made).

Now where did I leave my 2600Hz Cap’n. Crunch whistle and my Demon Dialer?

Our’s use to wake up the whole town when it rang. Also had a party line.

“Hey! Grandma! Your telephone is broken. It’s buzzing.” “No, child. That’s the dial tone.”

A woman that doesn’t like phones? Amazing.

The “ringer” for a phone like that was a separate box attached to the wall.

Cueing up a classic…. Anita Ward “Ring My Bell” ring a ring a ring. 1979…. Disco classic!

Of course, she said the same thing about her husband when she woke up this morning.

Rotary dial phone? I’m sure there’s an app for that.
