Quirks: That's what they tell me about women and cheeseburgers!

I got a kick out of "journalists" carrying on about the shower scene from the gym with Emmanuel and Massa. Tickle fights and giving massages to his navy corpsmen. The whole story is hilarious.

Don: It's pretty amazing. I've written a post about it for this week. You wouldn't believe the research I had to do to figure out just why the guy resigned from congress.

Coloured models, the Princess phone, and the push button model were all yet to come, to say nothing of wireless home phones and the cell phone. The telephone, by the way, figured prominently in comedian Bob Newhart's early stand-up routine. In the late 50s/early 60s Newhart made his mark using a telephone as a prop and having hilarious one-sided conversations. It was a device he used for years. The telephone also played a ce...
