Change is Gonna Come

 

Remember when you were a kid and you’d check the coin return on pay phones for change? When I was 8 years old I found 35 cents in a pay phone at the hospital. That kept me checking those coin returns for years. Like a gambler after his first win, I was hooked. There were no 800 help lines for child pay phone checkers to call then. Now there’s 800 numbers if you think you’re hooked on gambling. Fortunately I was cured when pay phones became extinct.

Of course, if you’re addicted to checking pay phones like I was, maybe calling an 800 number wouldn’t have been the best way to treat the disease since you could easily be drawn to a pay phone to call the 800 number. That would pretty much defeat the purpose. 

I guess that’s why they got rid of pay phones…
