I don't even know my wife's phone number.

But I remember my girlfriend's number from high school.

Same here.

About 15 years ago a couple boys were in the street in front of my house. I was working outside, garage doors open. They asked if they could use my phone to call home. I directed them to the rotary phone on my bench. They stood and stared at it. The first one asked if it was even real. "Yes, it's real." The second asked if it actually worked. I then had to show them how to use it. I felt old the rest of the day.

Telephone chair or “gossip bench”

Sold a bench like that last summer. Have the twin to that phone downstairs but it isn't hooked up.

I have a dial phone that I found for my MIL.  It's for the hearing impaired and provides louder sound.  Talk about old guy!

Was talking with a telephone guy at a postcard show yesterday. He said AT&T (and presumably the others) want to shut off the land line service by 2030. Main reason: it is regulated and other services are not.

Those boys will have that story to tell their grandchildren.
