    ... If you have a rotary phone, please press 1 now.

    I've seen vids of modern youth who have no idea how to operate one of
    those.
    I have a 1947 black Bakelite phone (I no longer have a landline to wire
    it to, but used to use it) that I refer to as a "conversation piece". :)

    Joe,

    They just cash in on the stupidity of the constituents who keep voting them in.

    It makes no sense. They say "throw the bums out", but they keep voting
    them in.

    It's like the late Red Skelton noted..."I know a guy with a beard down
    to his belly, hair down to his butt, yet he shaves under his arms".

    "Now, you figure it out". :P
