A twelve-panel SMBC comic. A man with reddish hair in a tan shirt calls a phone-sex line on a red rotary-style phone. The unseen female operator keeps mocking him instead of titillating him. Panel 1: He says "Hi, I'm calling for some phone sex?" and she replies "Wow! You're still using a landline?! No wonder you have to call us." He protests "I'm calling to be titillated, not INSULTED," and she shoots back "Uh... have you heard of the INTERNET? Jesus Christ." He defends himself: "I don't like to be too connected, okay? The phone is more personal." She says "Wow, with your command of arbitrary distinctions, it's amazing you're alone on Saturday night." Frustrated, he says "I just want five minutes of sexy talk?! Is that too much to ask?!" After a few wordless close-up panels of him listening, the operator finally turns sultry: "Sorry. Sorry, baby. I can tell from your voice that you'd like to use your fingers on me..." He smiles and says "There we go." Then she finishes: "Because the last time your finger was in a hole, it was on a rotary dial OHHHHHH!" In the final panel he screams into the phone, "DAMN YOU!" Votey: a black-and-white sketch where a bearded man leaning on a couch deadpans, "Best rotary dial joke this century."
