most American payphones i've seen on TV and in pictures have been the open air kind without any roof
That sounds about right to me. Especially in suburban or rural areas, where it's assumed most people will be driving instead of walking, the payphones tend to be positioned so that you could pull up your car and use the phone.
Of course, payphones are also rapidly disappearing in America, Maroon 5 notwithstanding...
You grunt with all your might and heave the phone booth onto your shoulders. For a moment or two it looks as if you're not going to be able to lift it, but heroically you finally lift it high in the air! Seconds later, however, you topple underneath the weight, and the booth crushes you fatally. Geez! Didn't I tell you not to pick up the phone booth?! Isn't the name of this very game "Pick Up The Phone Booth and Die"?! Man, you're dense. No big loss to humanity, I tell ya.
