People used to take their phones off the hook to prevent them from ringing. That was how you put your phone on airplane mode back in the day.

$350,000 is a lot of money even now. Damn them for robbing me of the simple pleasure of a "that's a lot of money back now" joke.

Another story where the writer is super smart. Isn't it funny how writers write stories where writers are so so smart?

Doors used to have a transom over them so you can get some air circulation even with the door closed. With the advent of ductwork and air conditioning all that silly stuff went away.
