Ahoy hoy.
C Montgomery Burns?‽
This wasn’t just a quirk by Burns, but a joke about his age:
Alexander Graham Bell initially suggested that the standard greeting when answering a telephone should be “ahoy”, but instead “hello” (suggested by Thomas Edison) was adopted.
Perhaps Thomas Edison’s greatest crime.
I still think we should switch over to Italian answering:
“Pronto!” == ‘ready’
I understand this was/is a joke. That being said, Topsy may have a slightly differing opinion on that.
Mushmushi!
