<p>[QUOTE="jackislost, post: 26488962, member: 152723"]Ahh ok. Now I remember hearing that. I'm almost a little too young for that. Born in '76, but yes I do recall the meaning for drop a dime. I never knew the whole story. Thanks for that history lesson. I do remember paying 10¢ to make a phone call. And the song that stated: "here's a quarter call someone who cares".</p><p><br /></p><p>On a lighter note, right before pay phones became extinct, I was in my college days, and was at a frat party. I had partaken in some mind altering substances and somehow ended up outside and was running from the Ho Chi Minh. I was in the rice paddies freaking out. Found a payphone and decided I should get some help and called 911. They answered and I realized what I did so I hid in the pay phone half booth until I heard the cop car sirens and then decided it be best if I got out of there. So I ran jumped in a ditch and waited till the sirens were gone and then somehow found my way back to the party and caught up with my friends. Told them the story and they figured it be best to get me back to house so I could continue my journey where it was safer. LOL.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hopefully that last bit doesn't offend anybody. Was just a story that came to mind that I thought would be comical to share. If you take offense to it, then please accept my apology for sharing it. But, I will never apologize for being me. And I would think most would get a little chuckle out of it, at the least.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
