Make sure ta always carry a few quarters, and assorted coins in your car...just in case. Ya never know, ya might forget your cell phone, or the charger in the car might go pffft... And the battery die. Then what? Pay phones.
Yep. They're all over yer home state. Take a peek through the list. I bet there's at least two right in your neighborhood. Within walking distance...
Uke, Uke, Uke. Did you even look at this list? I don't think you did. There's not one, zilch, zero, nada, pay phone listed in my fair city, let alone my neighborhood. NONE. It's like my city doesn't exist in Payphone World. Which is almost true but I can tell you there is one less than a mile away from me. I even saw someone using it just the other day. It's not in the directory, though, and I also wonder how up-to-date that directory is, there's a lot of Amoco stations listed, they got swallowed up into BP several years ago.

I remember always looking for payphones, I knew where they all were locally. I didn't need Uke's spotty guide, either.

Well... Look Cy, I tried ta help ya out, in case of an emergency, and your battery (on your cell) goes dead. I always carry a few coins with me...just in case. I suggest (members) and our loyal visitor as well, carry a buck's worth (at minimum), of quarters in a handy spot in their cars. And ya gotta call for help.
Help is just a fone call away!

If Uke had been sincere about wanting to be helpful, he would have examined the list before posting the link. Had he examined the list, he would have immediately realized the glaring hole in it where no payphones in Cy's entire home area are listed. Nary one. That would lead Cy to think Uke was trying to be clever. Or cute. Or something.

Okay Cy... Uke conpheses... He was just attempting ta run up the ol' post count, in a greedy attempt ta sweep Troll off the map once and phor all!
And Uke ove Snippy. And his seventeen fones tu! (But admits some jellisee!)

Some notes about they way pay phones are listed:
A * in front of the telephone number means that the phone does not accept incoming calls.
A $ in front of the telephone number means that the phone charges for incoming calls.
In cases where there are multiple pay phones at one location, pay phones are listed in order from left to right.
If pay phones are arranged in an unusual manner, or many groups of pay phones are at one location, directional descriptions will be put on the far right column.

Uke will never catch Troll. Troll's lead is mighty, Troll's lead is great, this will never happen unless Troll's computer goes haywire. Or something else happens. Otherwise, Uke's efforts are futile.
