I couldn't afford cups or string and had to read old dusty tomes about hebrew telepathy magi powers and train my constitution by going to sunday school where the nuns frequently molested me

We had to use party lines. The guy down the hall was two long rings and one short ring, and the guy across the street was two short rings and one long ring. If you didn't hear the ring sequence correctly, you would have to pick up the phone and listen to the conversation for a bit to see if it was for you.
back in my day before communication or language all you had was a high grunt and a low grunt and those were your only options of getting laid besides forced rape.

Phones had a kind of cup with a long cord attached to a box on the wall that you had to crank a few times to generate power.

All calls had to first go through an operator. You couldn't just call people direct. So then you would end up having a conversation with the operator girl while she set your call up before switching you through.
