Did you try that thing where you would call someone person to person and they would say they're not here and you'd say I'll call back at 1:00 and that meant that you were arriving at the airport at 1 so you didn't have to pay for the call? And remember when you would yell at someone "It's long distance, hurry up" And rotary phones. Remember the scene fron In & Out with Kevin Kline when Matt Dillon's skinny model girlfriend tries to use the rotary phone int heir motel and keeps trying to press the holes in the dial? God, how would this generation have survived back then?
Sure... that was a way to call someone to say you'd arrived safely. What my family did was use the name of the person who was calling....whoever was on the other end would say he's not here now. Yes that scene from
In and Out was a hoot.
