TOMORROW IS

33 bottles of beer on the wall.
33 bottles of beer.
Take one Down, pass it around,
32 bottles of beer on the wall.

Really?

You’ve been standing there the WHOLE time?

That’s pretty hardcore standing skills, I’m impressed!

OOH...lunch!

The Devil’s breakfast.

Yeah, it’s like on page three of the Old Testament I think.

And

On Sept. 1, 1878, Alexander Graham Bell hired Emma Nutt as the first female telephone operator. Bell didn't like the attitude of the teenage boys he had hired previously. She stayed at Boston telephone Dispatch Co. for 33 years.

Perhaps the most famous operator of all time is the officious character Ernestine from "Laugh-In." Coincidentally, Lily Tomlin was born on Sept. 1, 1939.

The job of an operator was to operate a manual switchboard and put plugs into jacks to help route and complete phone calls.

In the First World War, the women who operated the phone lines were called "Hello Girls." Their contribution was not recognized until 1978.

Chuck Berry, Johnny Rivers and Elvis Presley all recorded versions of the song "Memphis, Tennessee," about trying to place a call to 6-year-old Marie.
