Featured cartoon shows two cows sitting on a couch watching TV when a rotary phone on a side table across the room begins to ring. they stare at the phone and one says to the other, "Well, there it goes again... And we just sit here  without opposable thumbs."

I have created a diorama of the Partridge family attacking the Brady Bunch family. My life is very boring.
