This is a mobile phone in the shape of a life-size head, such as you might find on a shop mannequin. You would use the phone by holding the head upside down pressed closely to your cheek (i.e. face, not buttock), so that you can talk into the microphone concealed in the ear and listen to the speaker
concealed in the mouth.

Very Dom Joly. I'd prefer a Sooty handpuppet version though.
[ring tone]
[holds puppet to ear]
"Hello there Sooty! What's that? No, I haven't seen your water pistol. What does it look like?" [cue amusing water squirt]. |

Maybe inadvisable, I mean look at Jacques de Molay. |
|

This might be cumbersome. Also, holding a head upside down next to your head might attract the wrong sort of attention. Perhaps if the head were attached to a SnorriCam like apparatus, positioned facing your face at a distance that would not have the speaker, if their head was where the headphone was, invading your personal space, that would be better for all concerned. Fewer askance looks would be garnered. |
|
| |
Also, the headphoen eyes could be screens that display the speaker's face, if the speaker is speaking using a phone that allows them to transmit their face through the phone. The nose could be used to emit the smell of bacon. |
|
| |
//the wrong sort of attention// - is there such a thing? |
|
| |
No, you're quite right. I retract that part of my criticism.
However, having seen the difficulties associated with
transporting the head of Alfredo Garcia, the part about
holding a human head upside down and pressed against your
own presumably human head being potentially cumbersome
I think stands. |
|
| |
if you had a headphone made in your likeness it would give new
meaning to talking to yourself. |
|
| |
also handing someone the headphone to continue a call or make a
call would mess with the conventional meaning of "giving head"
especially if it were made in your likeness and based on that I'm out. |
|

Hmm, Wiliam Gibson does have a talking head in one story, but it's electro-mechanical, so a bit of bugger to make. Easiest would be Miku Hatsune, as she doesn't really exist, but all that blue hair might get in the way. Link. |
|
| |
Why just the head, why not make the phone into a life sized realistic cadaver? |
|
| |
Too silly. Won't fit in pocket. |
|
| |
Make pocket bigger then. Are you being deliberately obtuse? |
|
| |
Plenty of space for batteries. |
|
| |
Hat and sunglasses extra. Neckties would fall off and so are not recommended. Small drawer in the back for breath mints. |
|
| |
Zaphod Beeblebrox seems to have been a precursor. |
|
| |
Could this not be merged with the smart muzzle diet? |
|
| |
You might have seen the new Doctor Who movie where he
carries the head around and talks to it!! |
