      Back in the day, my stepdad worked overseas so we found ourselves at the airport quite often. Remember how they used to have those courtesy phones where you pick up, talk to an operator, and ask them to make an announcement in the airport to have someone pickup and connect you?

      My brother and I would go to those phones and request that they page Reverend Maynard James Keenan. Then they’d announce over the intercom “Reverend Maynard James Keenan please pickup a white courtesy phone. Reverend Maynard James Keenan please pickup a white courtesy phone.” Then we’d lose our minds laughing. I don’t know why we thought it was so funny, but hopefully some other Tool fans at the time were walking through the airport and did a double take.
