After a short delay, he hands it to his companion, and says “It’s for you”. --- End quote --- When I first got my license we built a battery powered supply to ring a standard "bell ringer" phone (STC "princess" from memory) and we used to do that at traffic lights. Phone would ring, wait for odd look from the next car over then "answer" the phone and wind the window down, then hold the handset out with an "it's for you". I'd forgotten about that. |
