Alpo Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 You're talking to someone on the telephone. On a good old-fashioned bakelite landline. And you are annoyed. They have aggravated you to no end. And you slam that receiver down on the hook. And the guy on the other end hears CLICK!!! He knows you're upset. But with a new, digital smartphone, no matter how hard you stab that hangup button with your finger, all the guy on the other end hears is boop, and a little message pops up that says "call disconnected". It just ain't the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Grab the biggest pot in your kitchen, put it upside down. Now grab something to hit it with, like a drum. Beat it as best as you can and then hang up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cliff Hanger #3720LR Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Any thing handy to slam on the table top will do. A book, a pair of scissors, a glass, a cup, a ruler or just about anything within reach. Slam it down a couple of time with the cell phone close and your point will be conveyed. Or a few choice words will do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trailrider #896 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Talkin' on the 'Ameche'. (Actor Don Ameche portrayed Alexander Graham Bell in a movie. My uncle used to refer to the telephone by that name! ) "Go ahead, it's your nickel!" And I can remember when I was a little kid, pay phones did take a nickel. Soon went to a dime, then a quarter!

Trigger Mike Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Now a days the song would say, " here's a cell phone, call someone who cares" and next thing you know you don't have a phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpo Posted July 27, 2021 Author Share Posted July 27, 2021 I heard he had to quit singing that in concert, because people in the audience kept throwing quarters to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joke 'um Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Develop a moaning scream of exasperation. When necessary, use it just prior to hanging up. Do not attempt to improvise an effective scream while engaged in the conversation. Prior preparation is the key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris LeDoux had a song titled 'Copenhagen'. Guess what they threw at the stage when he sang that song. I saw it happen twice in concerts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
