So I called a local Peds office today to get their fax number to send a release and assessment to. It was a recording that picked up instead of a person, you know the kind that they tell you what number to press to get to what department. “To make an Appointment Press 1″ “To speak to our billing department press 2″ and so on. After option 8 the message continued on to say the following:
If you are not certain of which option to choose or if you have a rotary dial phone, please press Zero.
I fell out of my seat laughing!

Man, I am SO glad our doctor does not have anything like that yet. Too funny about the last line! My guess is most people miss the humor in that statement since they do not remember rotary phones.

Unfortunately, most of the folks that read here are plenty old enough to remember them! I can remember trying to win radio contests and pushing the dial backwards to make it work faster. It worked once! I got Janet Jackson tickets!

NHL knows what they are too. My parents still have (not in use) a rotary Mickey Mouse phone.
