I was getting out of my car at a local bookstore one night when I saw
an angry-looking man whirl away from an outdoor pay phone, and with a
simple, powerful, belt-level move like a right hook, he ripped the
handset, cable and all, right out of the box.

I didn't get in his way.  I didn't address the issue in any
way ... but I sure remembered it.
