      Good day sir … here is your daily wheel barrow load of telegrams.

      I believe I saw a message from your mother in there.

      Til the morrow with my next wheel barrow.

      They’re still around in most of the world. If you wanna spend 20 bucks on a telegram that could have easily been a free email, go for it

        Come to think of it, email is a form of telegram, since it’s translated to 1’s and 0’s, or dots and dashes…??
