Alternate history...what if ...?

What if John Sedgwick said "You know, it's probably best not to tempt fate"?
What if Nader became president?
What if Alexander Graham Bell had got an "engaged" signal?
If Bell did in fact invent the telephone (which IS debatable) then he wouldn't be able to 'get an engaged signal' would he.
Illogical my dear @bunyip
I interpreted it as "What if Bell had conveyed the fact that he was about to get married to the other party?"
I am pretty sure that happened, because, as we all know, he married his deaf student.

On an entirely unrelated note, What if we wore pink on Thursdays?
@clousems
In principle your "Pink Thursday"idea has merit...BUT...
I envision a Mexican wave of pink-clad proponents circling the globe once a week due to the annoying but,in this case,pertinent fact of the Earth being spheroid and at the same time rotating.
@chessspy1
Indeed he could have gotten the engaged signal.His hunchbacked wall-eyed shufflingly limping-gaited drooling moron of an assistant was well capable of stuffing up even the seemingly simple act of not actually touching the receiver until it made a noise.
So the aforesaid idiot picks up ten minutes earlier,then shuffle-limps away to the toilet,leaving the phone off the hook.
QED
What if Becquerel had put his plates in a different drawer?
