Well would you look at that, an old cordless landline phone, just like the kind you used to have in your home. Back then, a phone like this and a telephone book were all you needed for countless hours of prank-calling fun! You go to pick up the receiver and it suddenly starts to ring!
You decide to call the police to get an update on their arrival:
“We have two units en route to your location, but the storm is complicating their ingress into your neighborhood. Please be patient and try not to interfere with the crime scene.”
You pick up the receiver and dial a bunch of random numbers. A rushed-sounding gentleman answers: “Hello?” “Hi, is your refrigerator running?” He hangs up.
