itchy: and he had some serious facial hair http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:1876_Bell_Speaking_into_Telephone.jpg
itchy: i bet he'd hate cell phone users
spruce: a time where wood could be a component of a cutting edge technological marvel
bigjimslade: the way I heard it he hated the way most people used the phone back then
itchy: how so?
itchy: did he loathe the lack of an apps store?
liquidindian: AHOYHOY
spruce: apps back then were mahogany and nickel hand cranks
liquidindian: People used to phone him up at dawn and shout "First!"
spruce: "I say old boy, I've fallen to the ground in a fit of hilarity and I am chortling my rump off. Laugh out loud, I say! and again LAUGH OUT LOUD!"
bigjimslade: yeah the Ahoy Hoy thing was a big thing I guess, also I remember reading somewhere he hated having it used for trivial things
bigjimslade: till he got his checks
