Phones like that are still in use here in Ukraine.
ReplyDeleteDon't knock the phones. A few years back, when I was in Austria (during the real Soviet era), most of our apartments had no phones. My first apartment actually had no shower or bath (we had to stand in a wash basin and do a sponge bath, but that is clearly TMI). To contact other missionaries we had a list of phone numbers of local "friendlies"--people who weren't LDS but who lived relatively close (neighbors, for example) who for years had agreed to take a message and run it down the street to the missionaries' apartment.
ReplyDeleteBTW, the comic is funny because it is so true.
