Rotary Dial
Kalee looks at the pink box sitting on Grandma’s end table. The battery from her iPhone 15¾ had died and she’d left the supercharger at home. She need to call Zack and leave him a message but all she could do was stand there staring in confusion at the antique. Finally, she pick up the handset, although she called it the pink thingy connected to the swirly wire, and listened to the buzzing sound. She started calling numbers into the transmitter but the buzz continued. Next she began to push down on the number through the holes on the rotary dial. When that didn’t work she tried pushing harder in frustration. Still nothing…
It’s amazing these people survived, she thought as she stood in line waiting to pay for her new $87.45 charging adapter and cable.

A lot of people say they are dialling a number without having a clue where the expression comes from! A great take.

A relic of a bygone era and an early example of women working, the so-called “pink collar” workforce. We have come a long way on both fronts.
