November 10th, 1951 - the first long distance call...
Now, now... WHO was I going to call again...? To say WHAT...? And why does it have to be so many numbers...?!!? At least it is considerably cheaper than a trip to Europe...
... and contracting some shameful disease while there...
... without operator assistance...
Darn it... I feel the end is near for the telegraphist - NO ONE will want to send a telegram ANYWHERE now! *Sigh*... what will I recycle myself into?!?
Bah - this long-distance calling will never reach into the Great Beyond! Become a medium - like me! I will teach you - for 24,95$, you will get my complete course... AND private tutoring!
... and without any rhyme or reason either...
BRRRRIIIIING! BRRRRRIIIINNGG!
This isn't much pleasant at all, methinks... awaiting a call from abroad, and not having the slightest idea what to say... just as if I was talking to her in person! At least I hope it is a dame...!
