    Actually there is some truth to this cartoon.

    Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone so he could hear his wife.

    She was deaf.

      So he could hear his wife who’s deaf? Or so his deaf wife could hear? Or?

        I believe it was so she could hear.

        Crazy to think that the phone of allthings is a failed design, or atvleast considered such at first.
