Einstein Tolan opened the 4021 Galactic Scientific conference flamboyantly. Tolan brought a 20^th century artifact, a black skinny box with a limp broken wire, prominently featuring a movable circle with numbers and letters.

“This was a communications device. Somehow – thin wires perhaps? – it allowed speech to flow distances. How to activate, you ask? Our best minds have searched for years. Finally, we found the word ‘dial’ – an archaic term for movement of this circle. How to ‘dial’? This next could explain the extreme anger inherent then. To communicate, you must butt it with your head, hence butt-dialing.”
