Ping for the DUmmie ALERT! ping list, although it’s not about the primitives on Skins’s island; it was however inspired by the primitives.

I love it, Frank. Reminds me of a scene from a movie with Alan King and Billy Crystal where they come to a stop light and there's a guy next to them on what they called "car phones" at the time.

Alan King pulls out one of those toy phones, the kind that jingle when you dial a number, and begins dialing. The ringing sound catches the other driver's attention. It struck me as very funny.

BTW, let me know if you want to sell that phone you used. That's a beaut!

You know what is neat about those old phones? They will still work with today's telephone system.

The telephone industry always make any improvements in their system backward compatible with existing equipment.

They found out that is better not to obsolete everything periodically like Digital industry does.

Remember the look Bush 43 would give reporters whenever one of their cell phones went off? He should have carried your phone with him to press conferences.

That is a great story. I’m going to look for an old analog phone I can take with me to use when passing idiots talking on their cell phones and not paying attention to driving.

Great idea!

That was a great story. Enjoyed it very much!

PS: to poster who found an Underwood typerwriter real cheap: my folks had one of those, a hand me down from some older relative, and my folks THREW it in the dump! ARG! They probably did this horrible deed when I was at school. It was a beautiful old piece of history. It was in great condition. That was 20 years ago it disappeared. Rotting in the township dump, horrors! Wish I had it.
