"The phone is NOT PLUGGED IN!" "... Yes. So?" "But don't you SEE? It's not ..."
I also like how that has changed "The phone calls are coming from INSIDE THE HOUSE!" Back in the day, it confused me because hang on, did that mean the house had TWO WHOLE PHONE LINES? Who the hell needs that many?
There was a Zits comic once where Jeremy shows off his new invention for the landline--a cord that ties the receiver to the cradle, so the receiver won't get lost.
