Classified: For sale: Elvis Presley's cell phone

[attaboy]

I have come into possession of Elvis' last cell phone, a Motorola Razr, model MOTOKRZR™ K1 Blue (unlocked GSM)
93530XQBSA. Phone comes with captured last known 2.0 megapixel photo of Elvis alive.

Phone is like new. All reasonable offers considered.

Elvis left the building in 1977.
What size is the phone? A 6 lb. brick?

[HAMILTON]

I saw on TV an interview with Priscilla Presley at Gracelands. She showed the cell phone that Elvis really had. She said that he was into all the latest toys and bought the very first cell phone. And yes!! it was the size of two bricks. I forget the name of the interviewer. It was someone famous. In fact I think it was that American with glasses and wears the coloured braces.

coloured braces.

Sheesh, I thought that was a Thai thing, it's in the U.S. now?

Larry King? I bought one of those Motorolla brick phones a few years ago. I figure it may have some collector value someday

Having the first one must be frustrating with no-one to call. It must be so exciting the first time it rings.

I just bought one of those new video phones with the tiny camera on the front but I don't know anybody else with one so I am stuck.

I am not even sure how it works if your boss video calls you and you are taking at sickie but you are really at the beach. I hope you can answer it in audio only mode.

When I used the word "braces" I meant the items that hold up your trousers..(or pants..if you're from USA)

suspenders

So what do you call the train tracks to straighten your teeth?

[HAMILTON]

braces. But in The UK we are intelligent. For example , when putting on a pair of trousers (pants) we say that we are using braces to hold them up. Our brains can automatically ascertain that they are DIFFERENT "braces" from those that are used in the mouth. tis easy !!!!

This sentence indicates nothing about pants (or trousers or pantaloons or whatever you call them).

And forgive me if I've never heard the British colloquialism for "suspenders" before. Don't mistake ignorance for lack of intelligence.

^ Do you get coloured braces for the teeth? They're ugly enough without drawing attention to them. Now, invisible braces would be a much better idea than coloured ones.

Must be a British thing, I immediately knew it was trouser braces (mainly because - as stated- I didn't think you could get coloured ones for the teeth)

Maybe pictures are required, just to ...err...clarify what is being discussed.
