This is actually one of the first Gruelgo gags I wrote, even before I came up with Diabro and Lamar! I have a text file with a bunch of potential gags in it, most of which prove unusable once the novelty of creation wears off.

When I was a kid I had an old walkie-talkie that was mostly a prop for making believe I was John McClane. (I only had one because you only need two if you have a friend!) Occasionally I would pick up transmissions while roaming the neighborhood as cordless phones in the 90s were about as secure as the intercom at Walmart. One day I heard a baby crying over the air and, assuming I was listening to a baby monitor, I tried to convince the parents that their precious little one had developed speech, much in the manner depicted above.

Yippee ki yay.
