Courtesy Call

The ol’ “low battery” conversation-ender, eh, Les? I usually go the “kssshhhh! kssshhhh! You’re breaking up kssshhhh!” fake-static route when I’m trying to cut a cell phone call short.

Doesn’t Les know that in the Funkiverse, to note the absence of  “any problems” is to bid them appear? It’s called jinxing yourself. The White Courtesy Phone doesn’t need batteries, Les…and it tolls for you.
