For some reason USA Today’s story about the decline of payphones in the United States includes a file photo of a man using a British Telephone phone booth. In the photo (by Christine Nesbitt) the man appears to clutch the payphone handset in his left hand while holding a cell phone to his ear. And maybe there’s a hidden message as well: He is pressing the coin-return button with his middle finger.
Light scrutiny reveals a strangely incongruous photo accompanying this brief story about the state of payphones in America.
