Do you have a payphone in your home?
« on: August 06, 2008, 09:10:12 PM »
I've watched too much of The Brady Bunch. The parents were having problems with the phone in their house because their kids wouldn't stop using it, they were tying up the line, and their phone bill was high. So Alice got an idea, she came home told the idea and the Brady parents went and got a pay phone.


I have never had a payphone in my home.

Neither have I.

Our landline phone bill is one price no matter how much we talk.

I like the idea of a payphone in my house. Although I'd rather have a police box...but only a certain one:

I think there may have been one in the apartment building we lived in when I was small.

We used to have a tardis in Glasgow; it's an original police phonebox that had been modified with a little slot and mirrors so that if you looked in the slot, you got the impression of a large space inside.  Now it's been converted into a coffee kiosk, and I don't know if it still has the tardis mirrors.

I think that means you have Asperger's...

Fuck NO!

I HATE 'phones

I once knew a guy, who worked for the 'phone company (a musician "friend") who had several in his "barr room basement."
His (as I called mine) I Love Me room was a fucking bar. He collected neon beer signs, life sized celebrity (female) ads, billiards stuff, concert posters and for some odd reason, pay phones. He had many of them, but only two actually worked as normal phones. You had to pick up the receiver and hit the coin return to make it work, then you could dial normally.

I am positive that they were all stolen from the phone company, due to his access to the "system."

This was in the early eighties. The phones were all dial face style 'phones.
