I went into a store and asked to see their telephone book. Wanted the yellow pages to find a certain type of store.

All young kids! They had no idea what I was talking about or why I would want that. Just google it.

I can vividly recall a nerdy looking high school girl turning to my 5th grade friend who was harassing her playfully at the bus stop say, “Eat me!”

Have you seen the movie the Intern? Came out a couple years ago. De Niro plays an ex executive at a phone book company.
