“Sorry, I got to return this video”

“Mike? I love that guy, I got him on speed dial”

“Do you have any quarters for a phone?”

“Bill Cosby really is America’s dad”

“Can I borrow that VHS?”

“Sorry, I can’t come. My favourite show is on”

“Do you know where a phone is?”

      A few year back, I took my daughter to an urgent care clinic. She was around 2 or 3 years old. While in the waiting room their office phone rang and my daughter jumped and went, “What was that?” because she had never heard a landline ring before.
