<p>[QUOTE=&quot;yakpoo, post: 5238236, member: 18157&quot;]Oh...I got another funny story about a Party Line. Well...it wasn&#039;t really a party line. This was in the mid-90s and I was renting a townhouse in Crofton, MD. This was pre-Cell Phone days.</p><p><br /></p><p>I had a Sony cordless touchtone phone with ten (10) channels. The instructions said if you don&#039;t have a good connection, simply switch channels until you find a good one. Anyway, I don&#039;t know about all that. Channel #1 was fine for me.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, I&#039;m relaxing one evening, pick up the phone to make a call and hear one side of someone else&#039;s conversation. I tried to tell them to get off the line, but they couldn&#039;t hear me. I changed channels right away, but now the channel button got me curious.</p><p><br /></p><p>I noticed that this happened across all ten (10) channels. If there was no activity on a given channel, I would just hear white noise. However, once a call began on that channel, it was clear as a bell.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, one evening, I pick up the phone and I hear a girl/woman who lives a few townhomes away. She&#039;s talking to her boyfriend all lovey-dovey. She&#039;s asking how his dog is doing...&quot;Taco&quot;. I assumed it was a Chihuahua. Anyway, she couldn&#039;t say enough great things about this guy&#039;s dog. Yeah, I shouldn&#039;t have listened, but I did.</p><p><br /></p><p>Well, she hangs up and I just hear white noise again. I&#039;m about the hang up, when the white noise clears and she&#039;s making another call. This time, she calls a friend and just starts running down her boy friend &quot;and his stupid dog, Taco&quot;. OMG! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>A few days later I met her in the parking lot...and I soooo wanted to ask her, &quot;How&#039;s Taco?&quot; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
