What if it’s one of those pagers the Israelis tampered with?

Slightly different than the burning bush.

It would have been cool if it had been one of those universal remote controls that control the universe.

let us hope not

God’s area code, 3.14………

she could feel trembling and hear the angry buzzing right before the message began “Please call 888-555-9009 we\ve been trying to reach you concerning your car warranty|”

Wow, OBH continued a story from a weekday to Sunday for once.

Hospitals still use pagers for various reasons.

Area codes were orignally assigned on how many telephones were in the area-with rotary dialing it was easier/faster to dial a 2 or 3 number so NYC has a 212 area code, Chicago 312 and DC 202 and Navada 702 when few lived there (1948).

Pagers are a reminder of how much I miss the 90s.

Oooh, a digital pager! I used to sell & service those back in the 80’s. How old is this strip today!?
