Question

Something we all can relate to part 2

The new forum needs a little bit of humor to release the tension of the changeover, so I've started part 2 of the old thread so that we don't have to keep scrollong to the end of the old thread.

If it gets too long before the "go to the latest reply" issue is resolved, I can lock this thread and link to a part 3 thread.

What do you think?

Background: A serious wine collector built an elaborate temperature and humidity controlled wine cellar in his home with camera surveilance. Each bottle is worth several hundred dollars. Watch what happened.

Oh wow! Whoever installed that wine rack evidently forgot to put mounting screws into the wall studs

For sure. An epic construction fail.

I like the dog's expression, too.

In the olden days of collect calls, one enterprising individual would called a long distance number to announce the gender of his newborn. He'd tell the operator to ask if Jack (male) or Jill (female) would accept the charges. The answer would always be "no", but he got the information through without paying for the call. He also kept a list of code names for other purposes. That scam is now obsolete with voip or unlimited minutes.

We used to do something similar with "person to person" calls.

When you arrived at your destination, you would call mom and dad person to person for yourself to let them know that you arrived safely.

Took me a few seconds to run that through Google. When I went in the service, I just used a payphone once a week, had a nice few minutes conversation and it didn't seem so expensive then. But I guess others didn't have spare coin and had to get by other ways.
