Caption: Phone book in the dark ages: Indispensable reference guide to all friends, acquaintances and local businesses Phone book, in the information age: Cathy: What's a phone book? Mom: Cathy is calling information for the number of a deli to send over a salad! My failure as a role model is complete! She has a phone book right under her nose and a bag of lettuce in her refrigerator! She'd rather pay the phone company $1.00 to look up a number than spend five seconds looking it up in the phone book for free! She'd rather pay $7.00 to have a salad delivered than to dump the pre-washed lettuce she already over-paid for into a bowl! I've called information once in my life as a last resort after exhausting all other options! I've never had a vegetable delivered to my home, and never will! Dad: There, there...It's never as bad as you think. Voice (from phone): For 50 cents, we'll dial the number for you. Dad: It's usually worse. Mom: How can they emulate us so little, and blame us for so much?
