Pay Phones They are still out there........

On a recent trip to south Florida to move my daughter back home after 4 years of college, A horrible thing happened..... My cell phone fell in a cup of water and it quit working....Oh my God.......What was i to do ? My husband was going to drive to Uhaul truck and I was to follow in my daughters mustang. We were going to have no way of contacting each other....525 miles..... Anyway, since uhauls go at a slower pace then does a mustang : my husband let me go on ahead, but, I was to call him from a PAY PHONE when I stopped for gas...Huh ? What ? A what ? None the less I found one at a gas station. There it was all by its self in a far away corner by the road, I pulled up next to it and got out of my car, I was unsure if the thing would even work, It was in bad shape, there was a birds nest where the phone book should have been. I picked up the receiver and to my surprise there was a dial tone. I used my husbands calling card number and called his cell phone. I quickly let him know where I was and that everything was ok. I did not like being on that pay phone , it gave me the creeps..
I have a new cell phone now, And may I never have to use a pay phone again......
