I wouldn't date her, she has "man hands" (quoting Seinfeld).

It's a super secret picture of the Vram iXi v239.98 microtelephonensmallendahandenandyouholdenitlikeitbelittleen developed by post war German scientists.  The idea was that it would fit in the glovebox of your VW Bug when you went out for a drive.  There were going to be phone jacks installed in public places so that people could hook up their Vram iXi v239.98 microtelephonensmallendahandenandyouholdenitlikeitbelittleen when they were out and about and call home to see if they needed to get more milk or Leiderhosen. 

Never caught on.

Easy for you to say. Just curious did you type that twice, or cut and paste it.

Ahhh, I hadn't noticed that.  I bet you're right... it must have some movie connection.

That movie was made, but, the scene doesn't look familiar. It was a BW movie in a small town.
The 50 ' woman was after her normal sized husbend because she thought he was always chasing other womrn, which I believe he was.
It was boring.....
"Hary, where are you?"
"Oh, no. Here comes my wife!"

The thing about the logos, that bwanna pointed out, is that they are the logo of the German movie studio "UFA."  Hence, the assumed movie connection.

Her co-star, international sex symbol, D. Jäger speaking on a AE v80 microtelephonensmallendahandenandyouholdenitlikeitbelittleen on the other end of the line... - oh, and we forgot to tell you this was a horror film, "Der Giants übernehmen Telekommunikation". loosely translated, "The Giants Take Over Telecom"  ;)

That's what happens when you try to bleach a phone on the wrong spin cycle...

Which one - the one in my photo above? Its an AE 80 I'm just too big for my telephone :)





Its an AE sales sample made about 1/4 size. They were made to show the phone and the colors it was made in.
