  In light of the discussion about finding places to daven mincha,
I heard of a funny, but true story that took place while I was in
Brooklyn College.  One of the popular mincha places was a bank of
phone booths (the old-fashioned kind, where you could close the
door & the lights were usually broken) on the ground floor of
one of the buildings. One day, when there were lines for all the 
phones, someone got at the back of the line and waited patiently
for his turn at the phone. He emerged a few seconds later totally
bewildered - the phone was out of order and he had just spent
15 minutes watching people use it!
