💨 Abstract

A unique attraction in Chevy Chase, D.C., is the “Joke Phone,” an old payphone modified by local artist Don Rutledge in 2023. Powered by solar energy and Rutledge's home Wi-Fi, it has delivered over 12,000 jokes and offers inspirational messages, insults, and interesting facts. This quirky device is one of D.C.’s most wholesome and offbeat attractions.
