“It’s better to have two 1/2 pound cans than one 1 pound can - then you can build an emergency telephone. Just add string as needed.”

What a great idea - a cheap telephone. Maybe you got that idea from the Progresso soup commercials. I have a ball of stout string. Give me your phone number and I'll call as soon as I get mine put together. Does your tin foil hat fit well? Mine is a little loose. Thanks for the laugh.

“a cheap telephone. Maybe you got that idea from the Progresso soup commercials.”

Decades before Progresso commercials we were doing that with orange juice cans — when they were still metal. (The O.J. cans were also great as hair rollers in the ‘60s when you had to go bouffant or die.)
