According to the Wacky Holiday Website it is Emma M. Nutt Day...celebrating the life of the first female telephone operator! Supposedly Emma had a sense of humor and used to tell people she was glad her first name was not Imma...
Well, here's a little youtube video of another funny operator we all know and love.
I love women who snort when they laugh, maybe Lily is the reason why!

I love Ernestine! My grandma was a telephone operator on the night shift.
I was an operator during a strike. When someone would call in I would say, "The girl with the smile is gone for a while. The man with the balls will answer your calls.
DAD! You did NOT!
