TOMORROW IS

A Roman legionnaire walks into a bar, holds up two fingers and says, “Five beers, please.”

Did you dare me to see how many nickels I could stick in my ear...

...or did I decide to do that on my own?

What?!?

Speak up!

Oh, never mind...

...I can’t hear shit, I’ve got nickels in my ear.

And

Starting in the 1970s, pay telephones were less and less commonly placed in booths in the United States. In many cities where they were once common, telephone booths have now been almost completely replaced by non-enclosed pay phones.

It may be of little surprise that the telephone booth has been around for more than 100 years. Inventor William Gray invented the booth after realizing the difficulty of placing a phone call from outside the home.

According to the FCC, there are only about 100,000 phone booths left in the United States, and about a fifth of those are in New York. The number has decreased rapidly over the last couple decades as cellphones have been adopted by 95% of Americans.

Payphone calls can be traced because they are a part of a telephonic network. ... We get tons of 911 hangup calls from pay phones, before even answering the call dispatch is able to see the exact location of the phone.

Despite a reduction in their numbers in recent years, the traditional British red telephone kiosk can still be seen in many places throughout the UK, and in current or former British colonies around the world. ... The red phone box is often seen as a British cultural icon throughout the world.
