A phone call made by a person who is bored during a long drive, in hopes that the call recipient will entertain him/her for a not insignificant portion of the journey.

An ancient artifact from long ago, similar to that of a phone book. It was once used to plan automobile journeys before the use of GPS, but is now used as reading material in the most primitive of waiting rooms. Can be found in the homes of old people and the darkest corners of one's attic.
