Sorry.
Could make it so the handset pops up two feet into the air on the third ring and make a game out of catching it.....

Love it, love it, love it.
Brings to mind the scene with Peter Sellers and the light bulb. |

Is this cordless phones only? |
|
| |
This could really brighten up a dull day at work. |
|

I was expecting to have to annotate with a m-f-d for a pun. I won't though, because it's a great idea in it's own right. Although it might have to come with padding in case you don't reach the phone on time. And non-cordless wall-mounted phones would have to come with a very long cord to save it from being ripped off the wall. |
|
| |
But if these are taken into account during manufacture, croissant! |
|

The phone should be hot. Then the answerer would have to toss it back and forth between hands, whispering "ouch!" each time, then finally drop it on the table, lean an ear to it, and start talking. |

Waugs - thats the funniest thing I've heard all day. |
|
| |
How about a ghost toast phone that shoots through walls to wherever in the house you are? |
|
| |
Love the idea. My only worry is that after answering the phone all day, I might actaully make toast and slap the slices to the side of my head. |
|
| |
[Rods]- well you could always butter it on the back.
<shameless reference> Then attach it to a cat and you've got yourself a perpetual motion machine.</shameless reference> |
|
| |
Meanwhile, back on topic. I have an occasional habit of tossing the receiver into the air and catching it before I answer, so this would be a great labour-saving device. Croissant. |
|
| |
I'm sorry, were we off topic? ;-) |
|
| |
Why combine these two items??? Burnt phones dont smell too good. |
|
| |
If my phone went <insert onomatopoeia> sound a toaster makes springing up</insert onomatopoeia> instead of Brrrrrrrrng, I'd get out of bed to answer it. |
|
| |
I'll have one. Is it available in just white and wholemeal? Or could I have pumpernickel?

[RodsT] I was thinking more along the lines of a phone shaped like one of those hop roasting buildings you see in Kent alot... |
|
| |
I don't think this one should come with a handset. I think the phone itself should be in the shape of a functional toaster, as a speakerphone. Think of all the fun you could have talking to 'aliens...'
Not certain how you'd disguise the numberpad. |
|
| |
Ha! disguise the number pad as settings for the toast |

1) warm bread
2) warmer bread
3) touch of gold
4) almost lightly toasted
5) lightly toasted
6) gold with hints of brown
7) almost brown
8) brown
9) brown and crispy
0) Cajun style toast -- burnt beyond recognition

Extra buttons: star, hash, croissant. |

interesting idea and funny, but i don't know about the game. Plus if someone missed it the person on the other side would hear a loud bang. |
|
| |
Yes; every time I look at that section of the halfbakery, I feel sad, even though I never knew any of them before. |
|
| |
Would baking this idea be a good memorial to Susrun? |
