It's a Telephone Kind of Day

And these days, it is REALLY telephone as most everywhere, folks as young as 4 have phones sprouting out of their ears or permanently disfigured thumbs from all that texting.

But, anyway, 135 years ago, one Alexander Graham Bell spoke the words "Mr. Warson. Come here. I want to see you." And the rest, as they say, is history despite there is some question of whether Bell stole the phone from Elisha Gray.

In honor of the event, today, Bob Stroud featured the telephone on his Ten at Ten on WDRV in Chicago.
