Just threw out all of our phonebooks for the first time in my life. Yeah, I know, it's about time. Actually, our new phonebooks arrived the other day (note Steve Martin The Jerk memory now) which prompted the whole thing. I walked out to get into the van & noticed a plastic bag bundle on the front lawn. The kids, of course, thought it was some kind of present. My thought, "who in the world uses a phone book anymore?"

We've always kept one, typically stored somewhere in the top of a closet or in the back of a kitchen cabinet, "just in case." Now that I can pull a phone out of my pocket and look up anything I need, that 'in case' will never happen.

How about you? How many phone books do you still have laying around your house? When was the last time you used one?
