Agreed.. I'm thinking a toilet.

Bill and Ted paid tribute by making their time machine an actual phone booth, which is of course, very similar looking.


Ok, nerd history lesson over.  I just couldn't stand to hear someone call it a phone booth.   :cheers:

I'm pretty sure the phone was only accessible on the outside....

I thought the same thing when I read his post, but decided to research it before making the comment and found out the phone was accessible from both inside and outside.
