It was a fun to see how many people you could cram into a vw beetle bug

Does anyone remember party line phone numbers. Two families would have the same number and when you picked up the phone and someone was talking there was no way to know when they finished. A good many just listened until they finished

I quickly realized what I had said and instead of back tracking and making it right , shut and lock the front door, I just repeated myself " would you go and shut and front the lock door?!"

[MarkFromSea]
