I’m waiting for the post about how Bell wasn’t the only one to invent the phone, he was just first to the patent office.
Oh wait, I think this is it…
“Watson, can You hear Me?”
” No,this is Mindy, and I’d like to talk to You about Your Cars
extended Warranty”

Two phones. In the world. The last day no idiot would axe “Way you at?”
In 1876 Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone. In 1883, an American by the name of John Michael Kohler invented the world’s first bathtub. This means there was only a seven year period in which no one had to be bothered with answering the phone while in the tub.
Class, this is Alexander Graham Bell. As you notice he was just another one of those evil industrious white European descendants who helped fuel the industrial raping of mother earth and create warming of the earth.
Now give the name of the SOB who invented the robocall.
Some mornings I wake up with a smile on my face after dreaming about blowing holes in my I Phone.
Eugenicist.
…still the best invention…

We were just talking today about how robocalls have ruined the telephone. Almost nobody answers a number they don’t recognize. It didn’t used to be that way. It didn’t need to be.
Down with most robots.
Wonder how many Millenials and Gen Z think Steve Jobs invented the “phone”.
My dad gets great news several times a day. Because of his outstanding payment history, he has qualified for a 0% interest credit card. This despite the fact that he has never had a credit card much less a payment history.
@bobcat – he also gets several car warranty calls daily as well. They ask, “is your car less than 10 years old” or something similar. No matter what you say in response to this, the cheery female voice on the other end enthusiastically exclaims “FANTASTIC!”.
I’ve tested this just for entertainment by answering when he is in the bathroom and the phone rings. I’ll say something like “F&#^ you you diseased skank whore bitch” and she still always exclaims “FANTASTIC!”
I kinda want to get her call back number so I can ask her to marry me. I could say “hello dear” to my ex-wife and she would launch into a full tirade of slurs and expletives at me – at least the car warranty lady doesn’t seem to be angry at me 24 hours a day.
I’ve told my dad many times that most of these are robocalls and not actual people – you can generally tell because the robocalls speak understandable English most of the time. I guess dad is lonely enough (or stubborn enough) to talk to anyone that calls though LOL.
He’s so hard of hearing that by the time he tells the live ones that “you’ll have to speak up …. I can’t understand a word you’re saying” several times, they get frustrated enough to just hang up.
