I don't want to hear them so putting these people who feel the need to be on these constantly makes me happy!Margaret (Peggy or Peg too)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04247428494327269983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23683658.post-52286002674315173522012-03-27T12:28:27.931-04:002012-03-27T12:28:27.931-04:00Wasn't Superman swift enough the remember that...Wasn't Superman swift enough the remember that phone booths had glass doors?Elvis Wearing a Bra on His Headhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08996404654445425458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23683658.post-9719250422333768532012-03-27T12:23:43.255-04:002012-03-27T12:23:43.255-04:00Heidi - sadly, you are probably right.
Angelique ...Heidi - sadly, you are probably right.<br /><br />Angelique - some of the super-high end hotels here in Disneyland-on-the-Potomac do.<br /><br />Amanda - good point. Many of the phone booths I used to have to use were cramped, smelly and hot ... not like the nice ones in the hotels. And you are obviously one of those texters whose incessant clicking drives the rest of us crazy...<br /><br />Kathy - Yes, Maxwell Smart would have been in trouble without the booth. And do you remember the scene from the first Superman film with Christopher Reeve in which you look from above to see Clark Kent charge down the street toward the sign that says "TELEPHONE" ... and the camera pulls back to him staring in confusion at the telephone bubble hanging on a pole as he desperately seeks a place to change clothes!<br /><br />Mike - Yep. It's hard to beat an intruder over the head with a cell phone rather than a 60's vintage 750-pound bakelite monster.Bilbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14213505386288233192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23683658.post-41524761027149966492012-03-27T12:03:33.850-04:002012-03-27T12:03:33.850-04:00I say bring back the REAL telephone too.I say bring back the REAL telephone too.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00017192454403363349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23683658.post-43011268848441037192012-03-27T11:42:17.476-04:002012-03-27T11:42:17.476-04:00What a great idea for use of cell phones!!
