Double entendre ?

Anyone remember that scene from ….. Blazing Saddles?!!! It was hilarious!!!

;-)

These beans will produce other sounds…

Ah yes… Beans, the musical fruit…

just make sure you’re not upwind of granpa

First it was the pagers. Then it was the walkie-talkies. What’s next, cans on a string?

Maybe Hezbollah should look into this.

Sure picked the right cans.

I think our record for tin can phones was about 75ft.

I tried it with paper cups and a string once. Bad reception

Paper cups are too flexible and absorb the sound energy. Tin cans work better.

I was always disappointed it wouldn’t work around corners…

Would fishing wire work better than string?

You have to stretch the string very tightly and shout loudly but it does work.

Okay as an accountant and a “domestic engineer” is he putting the beans in something in which they will keep for future use?
