People used to take their phones off the hook to prevent them from ringing. That was how you put your phone on airplane mode back in the day.

$350,000 is a lot of money even now. Damn them for robbing me of the simple pleasure of a "that's a lot of money back now" joke.

The bat has no face, no fingers, no arms, no legs, no eyes, no credit cards, no house keys, no liver, no lungs.

Vincent Price's final film role was as the title character's inventor in Edward Scissorhands. He has a film credit after that but in that case his voice was used from earlier.

I forgot my night things, my gown and my vibrator. Do you have one or do you want my loaner?

Typical of a doctor to hand out sedatives instead of actually fixing the problem.

Another story where the writer is super smart. Isn't it funny how writers write stories where writers are so so smart?

Doors used to have a transom over them so you can get some air circulation even with the door closed. With the advent of ductwork and air conditioning all that silly stuff went away.

Now as I recall, you can't pass a Betchdel test by having one woman in a sealed room.
