“Hello, Operator? I’d like to make a trunk call.”

(The kids still know what a trunk call is, right?)

Look, there are covers I like or have a really, REALLY funny joke for (like the one above) that don’t feature monsters. So I’m doing a week of those. I’M MAD WITH POWER, I TELLS YA. What are you doing to do? Stop reading?! Ha! I’m invulnerable! I’m the Joy Reid of…whatever this is now.

  • Nope, but I am old enough to remember party lines. We didn't have one (my grandfather worked for C&P) but the poorer neighbors still did, at least out in the country where we were. This would have been mid-late 70s.

    Um, the guy looks more like an accountant who was caught embezzling to pay for his gambling addiction more than a hardened murderer…

    Or maybe the girls dad who's angry because she spends waaaaay too much time gabbing on the phone.

    Yeah, we used to have a party line back in the '70s. I remember mom being mad because some woman was ALWAYS on the phone. And then when mom would get on the same woman would constantly be picking up her phone to see when mom would get off.
