... the pay phone rings. What do you do?

>>on the other end of the line would be a mysterious child's voice saying, "Are you my mummy?". And then I'd look down and see that the phone wasn't even connected to any wiring...

Excellent Dr. Who flashback, great episode!

I don't answer payphones.

 

[Torm]

Are you kidding? Can't you hear THAT RING? There's something WRONG with that ring!

What KIND of a person lets a phone ring 10 TIMES?!

I heard a phone ring like that once, back when I was in 'nam. I couldn't answer it then, but .... maybe I can answer it now!



Seriously, though, I've answered payphones a couple of times. Mostly uneventful, although I do remember once when I ended up using the phone book (miraculously still attached) for the caller to help them get the right number - THEY were calling from a payphone in another state.

He's only been gone for 7 days. And if I recall correctly he did announce that he was going on vaction.

I've been doing a big music video archival project, and that has me away from the computer a good bit. This computer, anyway. I've gone back to lurking a bit more than I was there for a while, but I'm still here. Glad to know someone noticed, though.

Um, that wasn't me.

Don't call it a comeback - I've been here for years.

Oh, well in that case.
