      It was inferred, since you typically say “nice , \ called, they want their \ back” in reference to some outdated, unfashionable item

        Yeah, but that’s the joke. We all expected it to be that, but then our expectations were subverted.

          But he’s exclamatory in his statement, as if what happened to the WTC in 2001 was previously unknown

            Yeah, because the other dude’s clothing style and the phone point to it being set in the 90s. Maybe even the 80s. He’s receiving a call from the future. If you look up pics and vids of Chandler Bing in the 90s, you can see him wearing this type of outfit several times.

              Right, but if you Google pictures of Alexander Graham Bell, you’ll discover what he looks like, this rendering your argument invalid. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to pass a message to the front line via Morse code.

      …if they called in 1999 and told us something will happen to the World Trade Center, probably it’s a magic future-phone and somebody should’ve put a stop to it before something happened. To the World Trade Center.
