    Even back in 1991 when this was originally published I would have said, “Hey, Mike! Did you forget you have two ears?”

    Well Michael, let’s think about this and see if we can figure out the problem. This may take a while. /s

    As someone who was a teenager in the 80s, it was my personal observation/experience that teen girls would tend to spend countless hours on the phone. Teen boys, not really.

    for me it’s the left ear, and only the left ear. You see, I don’t have a right one.

    I had a similar complaint about my right thumb and then one day I realized how many times a day I hit the space bar.

    Theses days the punchline would read “I don’t know why Dad, but my thumbs hurt!”

    It is due to Michael’s weird head shape.

    Wait until Flo trashes the new apartment and they go after the lease holder. Or she starts running numbers out of the joint…

    ’50s or early ’60s Dave Berg depicted a housewife on the phone as she did all her daily tasks, head leaning over to hold it to her shoulder, mouth open. Final frame she was dressed to the nines to go out with her husband – head leaning over, mouth open.
