  Somebody really doesn’t get the concept of a calendar girl. It’s just not about the big hair.

  If I’d known that’s where the microphone goes, I’d spend a lot more time on the phone.

    She’s on the phone with her cardiologist, but he just hears a murmur.

    • [Paul Renault]

       My guess is that she’s hearing her audiologist telling her: “You’re right, that shirt isn’t too loud.”

  You getting a new hairstyle, Xeni?

  That’s no lady, just look at the decadence and perversity of her bare wrists. My god, she’s showing half her forearms!  No respectable woman would be caught in such a dress outside of her boudoir.

  Sometimes a telephone is just a telephone.

  I remember her! From the Eraserhead poster!

  I take it she is a ventriloquist?
