   my grandmother still had an old green at&t phone she RENTED from the phone   
   company.  these blood suckers were still charging her money every month for   
   this piece of shit rotary phone.  this was until 1994.  my grandfather was a   
   gadget freak so he had speakerphone before everyone else and wireless phones.    
   they just grew attached to that big hunk of green and yellow plastic.   
      
   dialing one of those sucked. if you made a mistake you'd have to go back to   
   cranking away
