I miss pay phones. I grew up with them in the 60s. Used to check the little change cup in each one I walked by to check for change. It was a happy day when I found a couple of dimes. That meant candy run at the liquor store!
(dial 0 for Operator) hello, Operator! This phone didn't give my dime (10 cents) back and I have no more change. Can you help me?! No, it's not in the coin return or coin slot! What can I do? Operator: Hello, "sir" are you still there? Yes,ma'am. You need to say your name and phone number, and address, and we'll send you a refund within 2 weeks. But operator I have no money NOW. I'm sorry, sir, that's all we can do. (I'm all of 15 yrs. old)! 4 days later I received a letter with a card in it that had a dime taped to it! The scam of my life! I've felt guilty ever since! Peace
oh man...the side of that phone booth has an ad for ‘windows on the world’ restaurant (110 stories and just as many entrees) which was on top of the south tower. i had dinner there once with a very special friend of mine back in the day...it was magical...
He did that often I remember especially during the 90s. I wish people had more videos of this because it's my biggest memory I had of the vintage shows.
Kids today have no clue how tedious it was to make a phone call while away from home or an office. And my generation don't know how it was before there were telephones. The way the world is going, we might end up back in that position again.
Dave I have to tell you I study color in a pinstripe the biggest BMW dealer in the United States with paint ! Johanes Itten is a famous German color theorist ! He took a lot of major works of art and integrated their colors to arrive at one color. That color is medium Gray like your shirts. His conclusion was that medium gray satisfies the mind !!! And I must say the most popular color of BMWs is gray !! So Dave there you have it !!
Old New Yorkers, what’s that statue in the bushes with the cane? I haven’t noticed a statue like that since my first time in Times Square in 2002. But who was it?
Not only did the concept of this bit not work, the technical idea failed too, since they didn't switch their on-air camera to the Times Square Jumbotron TV fast enough, and too many other people were in the way. Most of Letterman's bits failed when he used average regular people. It was a stupid idea to do this, because average regular people are not performers, so Letterman resorted to making them look either stupid, or ridiculous, or ugly. Letterman's cocky elitist producers and writers looked down on average regular people. So did Letterman, which is why Cher called him and asshole when she appeared on his show.

You don't miss payphones; you miss being young and not having responsibilities
That’s weird as a kid I always made liquor runs at the candy store

@@dk14929 bullshit. Pay phones are awesome. Something about anonymity we all used to have
NOBODY gets close to Letterman.
Mrs. Letterman
Good ole Vintage Letterman when pay phones were a plenty.

Paul played it out with "We ain't got nothin' yet". Paul was an encyclopedia of pop music. Not only that but his band was right with him.
