May have been somewhat different in the early 60's, but I know my experience with operators has been less than favorable of late. Now that everyone is cellular, for the most part, the concept of the "operator" has gone completely by the wayside.
Despite any lack of resemblance to actual events, you have to admit it's a master stroke as an ad campaign. I appreciate hearing "the rest of the story..."
