There is a story, of course, behind the on-off switch. In the late sixties, before the days of cell phones, my husband, who was then single, had a girlfriend--we'll call her Carol-- who would sometimes stay over at his house. Carol's mother did not approve of this, or much of anything else that Carol did, and would frequently call her apartment very early or very late, to see if she was home--and if she didn't answer, Mom would grill her as to where she had been at that hour. So husband ordered a second line for his house, with Carol's number on it and installed the on-off switch on it. If Carol was with him, he'd turn it on, and, when it rang, Carol would answer. Then Mom would be happy because Carol was (supposedly) home. If she wasn't there, he'd switch the phone off so he wouldn't be wakened up by the phone ringing when Mom made her 6:00 AM or 11:00 PM calls. We ship out the same day payment is received.
