Every year come budget time, someone on the library board brings up taking out the pay phones as a cost-cutting measure. (And they do lose money — particularly as Ma Bell prices them to eliminate them from the market.) And every year I have to go to bat for them, arguing that they’re a public service that should be maintained, particularly as not everyone has cell phones, particularly little kids.
That isn’t a convincing argument. The one that where if you take out pay phones, people will be wasting the librarians’ time asking to use their phones is. Go figure.
Where will all the hobos pee?
Long time pissing
Where will all the hobos pee?
Oh, I don’t know
Where will all the hobos pee?
In Central Park, behind a tree?
Why does it always burn?
Location: Uptown platform of the A-C-E line 14th Street subway station NYC
Character: A mid-20’s black male, extremely tall and muscular, wearing dark sunglasses and a workout suit, he blends in with the college crowd
Scene: The character paces the platform, casually striding along the edge of the platform. He stops. He smiles a giant smirk, and makes sure that he’s getting everyone’s attention. Then, he stands facing the tracks, pulls down his pants and unleashes a massive fury of piss on the tracks – all the while letting loose with a wild cackle. He is proud. The crowd around him flees in horror.

Location: Central Park, NYC
Character1: A mid-20’s white female, slender and atletic, wearing loose khaki shorts and a sheer gauzy white top, she blends in with the college crowd
Character2: mid-20’s white male, college student, wearing engineered jeans, a tight tee and dark sunglasses
Scene: Character1 is situated near a base of a tree – sunbathing on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon. She’s exposing her legs to the first warm Spring sun of the season. She drifts in and out of a light slumber. Character2 walks up to the tree where Character1 is resting. Character2 unzips, pulls out his cock, and pisses all over the ground – splattering his urine on Character1. Character1 wakes, is startled and confused, then screams in horror.

I can see how the lack of payphones might put some kids in a bind.
“Discrete” calls? Well, I should HOPE they didn’t need any calculus for dialing.
The idea of phone booths being available in New York was a big part of the willing-suspension of disbelief back in 2003 already.
Now where will hobos pee?
Where will all the hobos pee?
Long time pissing

Thanks, TUM. The last line delivered!
