This wasn’t just a quirk of Burns, but a joke about his age:

Alexander Graham Bell initially suggested that the standard greeting when answering a telephone should be “ahoy”, but instead “hello” (suggested by Thomas Edison) was adopted.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you’re new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

  • Anon is often crazy.
  • Anon is often depressed.
  • Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
