  • My high school only had one pay phone. It had a bad connection in the hand set, so sound cut in and out constantly. People rarely ever bothered making calls on it. The coin return also had some sort of obstruction inside it. If you inserted a quarter and then hit the coin return lever, you’d hear it fall, but it didn’t actually come out. When enough quarters built up though, they would all flood out into return tray at once. Naturally, it got used as a slot machine. Drop in a quarter, pull the tiny lever, and see if you hit the jackpot.

    It’s a reference to the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, the joke being a misunderstanding of this use of the word Trans to be short for transexual, when in this context it’s actually meant to modify Siberian, as the band’s name is a reference to the Trans-Siberian railway.
