Time for <\/em>Olde Tyme Techcitement, where we take a look back at <\/em>technology <\/em>relics. It’s basically your grampa talking about the good old days, but sooner and totally more reasonable than dumb boring stories about how all this used to be farmland.<\/em><\/p>\n

Today’s relic is a novelty telephone from 1984. It’s so sophisticated, you guys. It was sculptured by a European<\/em> artist. They don’t say who the artist was, but what a talent!<\/p>\n

From the description on the phone’s box:<\/p>\n

The Erotica phone makes any conversation a sensual experience.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here’s a phone that’s both functional and fabulous. Superbly sculptured by a European artist, it’s a masterpiece of lightweight, micro-processor technology. The erotica phone plugs into any wall jack and is fully guaranteed. The quantity is limited so order now. It costs only $69.95 (plus $5.00 for shipping and handling) to own the ultimate “conversation piece.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’m trying to imagine who would have bought this thing. The company was clearly angling for the sophisticated playboy who would display it on his mahogany desk next to a box of Cuban cigars and a glass of cognac.<\/p>\n

I have a feeling, though, that the Oral Sex Phone only went on display on cheap coffee tables in the basements of sleazy guys with moist palms.<\/p>\n

You know what? I doubt even they bought it.<\/p>\n
