I used to be able to tap-dial any number on a rotary dial phone. Useful for stealing calls when there was a padlock on the dial.

I know what you're talking about, but i bet 90% of the people who read your post will have no idea.

I can't remember the last time I even saw a rotary dial phone.

A friend of mine has a rotary in his living room. He calls it the "age test". Its pretty much a fool-proof indicator if someone was born after 1980 when they go to make a call, pick up the receiver, then stare at it blankly for about a minute.

Oh, and I do popcorn on the stove top.
