    When you didn’t have newspaper, pages from the phonebook would work, too.

    I don’t think they make those anymore either.

      They do, but the white pages are nearly nonexistent now that almost everyone has a cell instead of a landline.

      I haven’t lived in the US for 4 years now, but when I did, we had phone books dropped on our front porch every six months. I’d see one, pick it up, carry it through the house, and deposit it directly in the recycling bin.
