Something you never used to hear:
Paper or Plastic?
Then you heard it...
Now you don't again...

Our Rotary is in the dining room on the wall. The ring is a sound I'm not
quite willing to part with yet. One other enjoyable thing about the phone
was seeing the confused looks on the faces of our daughters' freinds
when they attempted to phone home and the looks on their parents faces
when the same freinds showed them the cool new kind-a phone up on
the wall.

"Ethyl or Regular?"
And not so much that gas is no longer referred to this way, but actually having some guy some out to the car and ask.
Which would then lead to-
"Check the oil today ma'am/sir?"

And odd in that neither is as correct as saying "Locked in" would be.
