IS IT A TARDIS?


People sometimes point out that phone boxes are obsolete. So I thought I'd preserve this futuristic Swiss phone box here. Along with sleek shower-heads, windows that open two ways, self-cleaning garlic crushers, symmetrical door keys (so you can't insert them upside-down) and the omnipresent multi-blade penknives, it's a design classic. Oh, of course it's graffiti- and urine-free, and hasn't been smashed up. What do Swiss teenagers find to do in the evenings?

Wanton cleaning sprees?

Removing stones from horses hooves?

Well, Gage, there are specially designed tools for that on Swiss Army knives. Come to think of it, the SA must have a lot of hanging around to do...

Never mind the garlic-crushers--is it bigger inside than out?That is the test of a tardis!
