imagine their wonder at a rotary phone.
GotRDid.


My dad up till 3 years ago had a rotary phone in his shop. He had some Boy Scouts over to do the rifle shooting merit badge and when it was time to go home one of them went over to the phone to call home and just stood there looking dumbfounded. He finally ask how to use the phone because he had no idea. Dad and the Assist. Scoutmaster just laughed and showed him how to use it.

Probably very similar to when we went to Grandpa's farm and were told to go milk the cow for the first time. But at least we knew that milk came from a cow. Now kids think it comes from a carton in the grocery store. Don't even think about asking a kid where the carton comes from.

Obviously, the young man had yet to earn his telecommunications merit badge.
 
This brings back over 30 years of working construction. We stop for one after work. If there were 5 or 6 people in the group, you would each buy one round. That’s stopping for one!
Back 'bout 40 years ago or so, I worked in a sugar mill, it was always hot and dusty. Me, Jeff and Delmer would stop at the local oasis most nights after work to wash down the dust. With us it was each one would buy a pitcher of draft and then sneak home on the back roads to avoid the constabulary. Jeff's dad was our foreman and many of the nights he's stop also. He insisted on buying the first pitcher, and he'd always tell the bar maid "and bring a water glass full of whiskey along with that", and it would go into the pitcher.
