Things You Don't See Anymore Part 3

Speaking of extinct telephone oddities....does anyone remember the 4-way "party line"?

It's where four separate phone customers all shared the same line. Occasionally, you could pick up your phone to make a call, and there might be other people already having a conversation on the shared line. At which point, you'd be unable to dial a number, as the line was engaged. Weird.
