It’s “Ahoy-hoy?” – according to legend, the greeting A.G. Bell thought everybody should use with his invention.
I’m an albino!
It’s nice to see Burns doing more for himself, that kind of autonomy can really lift spirits.
However, he is pure evil, so it’s better that Smithers serve as an intermediary between his evil plots and what they become.
“lol, when i first heard this on the show I looked it up, “ahoy ahoy” is how Alexander Graham Bell suggested people answer the phone” -friend John via Facebook to me, regarding this quote
We already have that covered above, thank you.
I’m pretty sure Burns actually says “Ahoy hoy!”
Actually I always said his greeting that was myself, with the a left out of the second hoy as that’s how I always heard him say it! Anyway, Courtney Love is the Yoko Ono that broke up Nirvana and killed Kurt Cobain, just wanted to mention it here for some reason.
I swear, with a phrase like that on the phone today someone would totally pass for a hipster. Not even sure if that would be joke though, because so many subcultures and alternativity can’t be good for the world’s stamina.
That has nothing to do with anything.
LOL so true. I use this EVERY day on the phone.
