Collect Calls

Friday - 06/18/2021 — Since Father’s Day is Sunday, I thought I’d mention that way back when there used to be such a thing as charging for a long-distance call, folks in the telephone industry kept track of which days there were the most collect calls.

Turns out there was one day a year that stood out from all the rest.

Father’s Day.

I never did that to my dad, but I think he would have thought this statistic was funny.
