Phone box

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia.

This article should not be confused with phone boxing, a deadly martial art.

The first recorded incident of people using a phone box was in Ancient Greece. A couple were walking through the market when a builder accidentally dropped a box from his scaffolding. The box landed on the couple's heads and they continued walking an talking as normal, but with the added comfort of knowing that they were doing so with a box on their heads. Unfortunately they could not see where they were walking and there was a terrible accident. Knives are no longer displayed at neck height.

The phone box caught on quickly among the Greek aristocracy and was often use when talking with the head exposed was innapropriate. Philosophers also used phone boxes regularly, hence the expression "thinking inside the box".

[edit] Evolution of the Phone Box

Though it had been around for centuries, a long distance phone box was not invented until 1649 and stretched across the English Channel from England to France. However, nobody in England wanted to talk to the French and vice versa, so the giant box was thrown into the sea never to be seen again. Some theories suggest that the box floated for years until it eventually became New Zealand.

A trans-Atlantic phone box was created in 1860, but unfortunately the cardboard used became soggy and the box was destroyed by the elements.

[edit] Modern Day Phone Boxes

The red phone box can be seen across the British Isles and is viewed as one of its main attractions. But, with the invention in the 1930s of the 'cup and string', most modern day phone boxes are now out of work and seek employment as novelty fish tanks or trendy wine bars.
