Future archaeologist asks : What's a pay phone?

                                 The Future ------- I can only imagine the excitement and confusion when archaeologists found things like the Rosetta Stone or Stonehenge.  These things are amazing to look at, and you try to figure out why these ancient civilizations built them, what their purpose was and how they were constructed.
                                 Much like the explorers and scholars who found these objects, this young archaeologist came across something strange, unique and intimidatingly beautiful : a pay phone.
                                 The boy's face is a mixture of wonderment, fear and disappointment that humanity ever used this contraption.
                                 The boy is clearly a sharp chap and asked, "Is this one of those old-fashioned phones?" 
                                 Yes, son, it most certainly is.  We used to use them to call our moms to pick us up from the old picture house after taking in a show.  We'd often search our pockets fruitlessly for a quarter, and when we came up empty-handed we cautiously dialed 1-800-Collect and hoped dad wouldn't be too upset.
                                 Am I the only one feeling old here?
                                 Reguardless, it's pretty funny to watch this young man try to figure what this dated and bulky contraption ever added to society.  If you only knew, young man; if you only knew.
