In Ben's home movie (a project for his English class at school), a hand-lettered sign is shown above the wall-mounted telephone in the kitchen. At first glance, it seems to be mis-spelled on purpose for a joke; however, it is never mentioned. The sign reads: "PUBIC PHONE" and has an arrow pointing downward to the phone itself. In a scene in which Ben calls the president at the White House, the mis-spelled sign is seen at the beginning, then after a brief cut to Barbara Bush being chased by a toy alligator (it's a home movie for a class assignment, remember), the sign now reads "PUBLIC PHONE", and has a different arrow pointing to the phone.
