ancient customs, part 1: the phone booth

what year is this. and what is she doing?
we've gone a long way back in time. she's talking on the phone.
what, in that little compartment?
yes.
what's that snaky looking metal thing?
that's the phone cord. it connects the receiver to the phone.
why doesn't she just use her cell? she musta forgot it, right?
she don't have one. they weren't invented yet.
what? no cell phones?
kind of shocking, isn't it?
practically barbaric. how did the human race survive?
just lucky, I guess. good thing we can return to our time.
no shit. this is downright depressing. she's kinda cute though, for being so backward.
she'll appreciate that sentiment, I'm sure.
