Put it here ... I can't wait to read it. I have the Captcha turned OFF but blogger insists it be there. You should be able to bypass it.

I went to school with Charlie Matthau, Walter Matthau's son. Every time he passed a payphone he checked it for change...despite all that money...
ReplyDeleteAnon, we all checked them, didn't we..
DeleteGood ones
ReplyDeleteAnon, Thanks!
DeleteThat payphone looks a bit odd for some reason. It doesn't look like the payphones I saw with the coin slot or the 5/10/25 slots at the top and the coin return looks strange. It's touch tone so it must be later than '63.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I do remember the joy of finding loose change in the pay phone regardless of the type. If I recall correctly, on calls that required an extra charge, the operators could tell which coin you inserted just by the sound of the coin hitting different sized bells or something.

George, You sound like an old telephone guy. I put in 30 years as a cable splicer with Ma-Bell.
DeleteThat's because it was created with AI
DeleteAnon, Shhhhh, don't spoil everyone else's fun.
DeleteKids won't know about payphone coins, but they do know about Aldi's cart return quarters ...
ReplyDeleteAnon, I had to look it up. How much business did they loose?
DeleteDunno about the last one. I'm sure some of the gender crowd would love it.
ReplyDeleteedutcher, you think?
DeleteRe: finding change in the pay phone coin return
ReplyDeleteI remember when they warned us to be careful doing that because junkies were putting used needles in there.
Anon, the junkies started that rumor so they could get the money.
