1. Never forget the phonebooths...gotta bring back phonebooth construction

[LisaM]

2. I kind of wish they still did have phonebooths....

or some other method of making anonymous phone calls.

7. We have one in our house

My wife found it at a yard sale and I painted it red to look British

[LisaM]

9. Nice!

Does it have an untraceable payphone in it?

[QED]

3. Agree.

Clark Kent has been reduced to changing in his car.

4. stenographers, secretaries, telephone operators, librarians and bank tellers too

somehow women have a managed to adapt to the changes in the labor market over the last 20 years....

6. Yeah. We're good at that.

10. Secretaries have now become

Administrative Assistants with a College Degree required.

[HockeyMom]

5. Shorthand

8. I forgot about shorthand

I guess it's obsolete

11. Ah, memories of the pink ghetto.

Did I ever mention my brief stint as a telephone operator at Southern Bell in the 1960's? And the time I disconnected Lady Bird Johnson??? I wasn't very good at it.
