“Jerry, how old are you?”

Me: this was my high school - with the extra long cord that stretched to a different room. 😂

I'm not that old 😉 but I remember all these phones as a kid! call the operator and they were connecting you the other place. My grandfather had one of them at home.

Same - my grandparents had these.

We had the *fancy* phone with touch tone dialing instead of rotary. 😜
