“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.

We had a party line as a kid for a bit. Basically shared the same line with the neighbors (my uncle). Was weird, we could call each other somehow. Not sure how that worked

Oh nice! I was pretty young (and smoked way too much since then 😅)

You had to turn the handle on the side of the phone it was generating some voltage so the other side started ringing and they pick up the phone. It was before we get the rotary dial phone

The original party line!
Now I have to pay $.99 per minuite...
