Sheer Luxury!!! We used to dream of wax cylinder recordings. All we had were dog faced pony soldier express letters. :)

You Wall Street Tycoons! Back in Scranton, we WISHED that we had Dog faced Pony Soldier Express Letters! We had to write on loose scraps of paper that we found in a vacant lot. We made ink of rat grease and charcoal. That's the hard-scrabble, lunch pail Scranton way.

What? That’s so upscale and technical! We have to scratch our messages on cave walls with rock pigment and red ocher, while junior and the misses kept watch for cave bears and cave lions
