the local laundry firm replaced the roll once a week, plus left an extra roll, shop rags and broom mop towels. Every once in a while one of us would pull on towel machine and get the end of the roll. This meant opening the box, removing the soiled towel roll and replacing it with a new one. Threading the new towel took a few moments. Well dad, being somewhat of a prankster, would stuff the end of the towel back into the dispenser, knowing that if our shop manager got the end, we’d hear a lot of expletives. 🤣

When I went away to college the only phone I really had access to was the pay phone at the end of the hall in the dorm. I’d place a collect call to my folks who would refuse the call and then call back.😎👍🏼

I called home from Korea on my first tour there in '77. It was painful. Had to travel to Seoul to the main Army base. You sat in a booth and an operator placed your call. It took several seconds for your voice to reach the other person and vice versa, so it wasn't a lively conversation.
Calling home from Germany in the 80's was a little better. It was clearer and faster, but man, it was pricey. 5DM (about $2) would get you maybe 10 minutes.

You know you're old when you can still do the crazy things you used to do when you were younger...but no longer want to. Old is in the mind as much as it's in the body, sometimes more.

hours for a 2 minute call. After the operator worked hard to put the connection through to California I heard my sweetie on the other end. We chatted on the scratchy connection for maybe 30 seconds, then it disconnected. Operator tried to reconnect, but not enough time left. My total calls home from Vietnam during my 12 month tour equaled zero.

I actually lived a spoiled childhood in Buffalo, because we had all of the US TV networks as well as the Canadian TV networks from Toronto.....
