I really love this ad. Not terribly fond of the illustrations here, except that I do love her teeny tiny waist line. These things look like stethoscopes.
Hey kids, IT’S THE “LISTENETTE”!

Don’t even ask me how much money I wasted on these type of devices back in the day. They never worked! But I sure like the name of this product!

I know, it kills me! It’s a stethoscope! I know what you mean about the name, if I had my way, everything word/thing would have “ette” on the end of it.

way cool…i miss telephone pranks…now with cells phones, everyone always knows what’s happening during a call….my best friend in NY used to call me up and ask me how i’m doing and then very quietly hang up as i started taking….used to slay me completely…we used to torture each other..i miss those days…now dropped calls aren’t funny at all!

I used to prank call my mother and pretend I was my nutty Uncle. She fell for it every time and then we laughed like mad.

haha! I can still get my father by calling up and pretending to be his Mom. It’s a mind game at this point…he is never sure anymore and doesn’t want to make a mistake, so there will be this silent pause on the other end of the line for several seconds….almost impossible for me to keep it together….funnier though, when he phones me and pretends to be her!

That’s what kills me Wind-up, the silence when they are not too sure of what is going on.
