QuoteGood eye Dan. We should be on old phone forensic files..

Hah, I can see it now, "CSI: Old Phone" 

CSI Guy #1:  "Wow, this guy got beaned with an old phone."

CSI Old Phone specialist:  "Looks like that was a soft plastic 59' 500 with a late 60's G3 hard plastic handset, probably a refurb job, deeply stuck in the vic's cranium.  You can tell it was the still in use at least until the Divestiture by the resell sticker on the bottom dated 84-223, and note the special irony of the funeral home sticker on the handset."

CSI Hot Chick #1:  "Uh, yeah, he was killed with the phone."

Well this was after they switched apartments with that old lady...this is the bigger apartment with the window.  Maybe they're still using the old lady's 202 until their new 302 was installed.  Okay...just a fantasy theory.   I also love the one where Ethel brings her phone up into Lucy's apartment.  Ethel says "every time someone moves, Fred swipes the extension cord".  I could just picture Fred splicing all those cords together!

As cheap as Fred was, you know he had to have and extension ringer silenced to prevent detection and bell-tap, also, he'd be the first to ditch MA Bell and buy a cheap China Webcor-Zip phone when he could (the Zip was my cheap  phone in college in the 80's-the kind that you sat the handset down on the table to hangup--chirped like a deranged chicken!).
