Sure we do. Running water. Even automobiles. I picked one up today... it's out in the garage. Lemme go take some pix of it.
For some reason, my feet sure are sore tonight.............

Yabba dabba doo!Red = Tip = White/Blue
Green = Ring = Blue White
...and so on, correct?
[I'm not sure on the T & R]
BTW, I didn't know Bedrock had phone service
Actually, the red = the solid blue.
As for tip and ring, do you know where that comes from? Phone operator switchboards used plugs very similar to the modern 1/4" stereo headphone plug.
If you look at such a plug, you'll see that the plug's contacts are the tip (L ch), the ring (R ch), and the sleeve (com.) A mono plug has no ring terminal.

Very interesting!
I had no idea how Tip/Ring was determined/decided upon ~ thank you.

Hers is how I remember it.
Red Right Ring.
On drop wire, the ring is identified with a tracer or rib
But I don't think polarity matters unless its a party line which rings to ground.
