But the telephonist knew who it was, and why they were ringing.
 
I do recall my mother attempting to contact my grandmother for her birthday. Mum was put through to the right exchange to be told that Mary and Ken were having dinner with Heather and Pat and would mum like to be put through there! The telephonist also knew what Heater and Pat had given Mary for her birthday.

Dennis R's Morning Joke. What do you call a messy cat? Kitty litter.
 
I remember when we would phone someone and tell them it's the electricity company calling, could you please check if your fridge is running.
You waited on the phone for a minute until the owner returned to the phone.
"Yes, it's still running."
And then answer, '"Will, you better run after it!"

This is also how we learned to swear!

I found out from one of the local telephonists that my sister had got engaged. I had the info before my sister got home from town two hours later.

A phone call from my grandmother to any one of her many daughters went like this: Allo Miss, it's me. Can you put me through to May please?
We kids would laugh but she was correctly connected every time, even if she used family nicknames.
Telephone Exchanges world-wide worked the same.

Being told I needed a Prostrate Examination would be the worst feeling. I believe they are gender specific 🤣🤣🤣

Asking for a friend. Does one have to be prostrate for a prostate exam, especially when feeling both hands on his shoulders?
