You don't hear silences on the phone anymore. They've got this time-sharing
thing on long-distance lines where you make a pause and they snip out that
piece of time and use it to carry part of somebody else's conversation.
Instead of a pause, where somebody's maybe breathing or sighing, you get
this blank hole and you only start hearing again when someone says a word
and even the beginning of the word is clipped off. Silences don't count --
you're paying for them, but they take them away from you
