Howdy,

        I noticed on the web pages a while ago a "cordless telephone" from
the Texas Clown Association convention, Oct. 1994.  It is an inflated 321
with a bend in the bottom 1/4 or 1/3 (at the nozzle end....).  Then there
is a key pad drawn in the middle and the mouth and ear spots have dots
drawn in like a real phone.  I've been making this for a few weeks and I
gotta say that the thing is a huge hit among the adult crowd.  The kids
like it too.  They are simple to make but take a while to draw everything
in.  I usually make one and put it up to my ear and say something like
"Hello?  Short, with blond hair?  Yeah, one moment please. "  Then I hold
the phone to them and say, "It's for you".  Lots of laughs.

Ramsi.
