That was hilarious because there is so much truth to it.

In the late 19th century people were reacting to the telephone in exactly the way Gary Gulman relates in his bit about phones today.

The feeling was then, and is again today, that an incoming phone call is like barging into a meeting room, bedroom, social gathering, etc. and yelling "I want you to stop talking and listen to me right now!"

Voice telephone is an atrocity.
