C Montgomery Burns?â˝
This wasnât 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 âahoyâ, but instead âhelloâ (suggested by Thomas Edison) was adopted.
Perhaps Thomas Edisonâs greatest crime.
I still think we should switch over to Italian answering:
âPronto!â == âreadyâ
Iâm just going to go with shalom. If Spider-Man says itâs cool, who am I to argue
I understand this was/is a joke. That being said, Topsy may have a slightly differing opinion on that.
