"She was only the road-builder's daughter but she knew how to get her asphalt"

The old jokes are the best.

Today I helped someone hide dead bodies.

In the break room...

Me: Ralph, how is it going?
Ralph: Good. Just dealing with dead bodies!
Me: Dead bodies?
Ralph: Yeah, there are a lot of deceased in a certain database table.
Me: Oh. If you want, I can write you a query to help you hide the bodies. ;-)

*helped hide bodies in plain site* and it's not even lunch!

I just added to the WHERE clause Deceased=false

On the theme of old "stuff" I do work for a company that has a contract with AT&T residential POTS. Had a call for no dial tone. The PoC mentioned this phone on the second floor. I honestly didn't think it would work as many places in the US stopped supporting rotary. Surprise, it worked.

Princess phones, Used to call radio stations to win stuff back then. That was finger exercise.

Ha - for a second there I thought that was a whiskey bottle and some prescription meds behind that phone!

We had those exact phones growing up - on a party line, no less. I've always appreciated the pace of technological innovation I've witnessed in my life. Oddly, when we had those phones, I don't remember ever thinking "boy, I wish there was a faster way to dial!" haha.

When I was a kid, our phone looked like this. It didn't have a rotary dial; you spoke to an operator and gave her the name or number of the party you wanted to talk to and she connected you by plugging a line into a patch-panel.. It was on a party line along with another neighbour or two.
