Click Makes me either want to laugh or lose my dinner. I think this is really a (bad) attempt at visual humor. Joe

It might be fun if someone could make a shade in a three dimensional version of the old bell logo...in blue, of course...

I have a really Old Pay Phone in my Garage that I just don't know what to do with, but I sure as heck wouldn't make it into a lamp.
That just seems wrong in so many ways......

That is not the worse thing to do to a phone. The worse thing is to stick one in a microwave and cook it.
I actually had a customer with a discontent employee do just that.

Quote by Skip: I've found a lot of candlesticks turned lamp that I turned back to phones I see those candlestick lamps on the web and cry. That must have been a fad at one time. I found a candlestick at a swap meet for the right price (cheap) and am enjoying restoring it. When you buy a butchered one, do you ever get by with just plugging the holes or do you typically need other parts?
