(9,249 posts)At our house, we 'piped down the colors' at sunset. And my kid brother knew big brother's pipe call for 'get your ass home, NOW'. It was also extremely handy for sonically severing connections to any/all unwanted phone calls via the old land line. (Big brother worked for Pacific Bell after mustering out and learned how those communication 'trunks' responded to certain pitches)
I miss that old pipe. Might have to track one down and keep it on my key ring.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
