Bobby Gets Hep!

[espanolbot]

A PSA that teaches a valuable lesson: Don't hog the phone line, or it'll annoy your neighbours and cause people to die in fires!

Man, phones were dumb in the 40s. And is Hep carbon monoxide poisoning?

Hep is an older form of the world hip.

I went straight to hepatitis and thought that this story was going in a very different direction.

I was going to tag on a VD PSA as well, though that one wasn't really funny and actually fairer than I thought that it would be.

at scans_daily, it's never just you.

My family had a party-line phone in the early 80's; I think we shared it with 6 or 8 other families. It was in a very rural, very poor area; single lines were available for a few extra dollars a month, that almost nobody in the county could afford easily.

The language.. The glorious, glorious language.

Lol and dead.

[rordulum]

No kidding. I get that "hep" is the same as "hip", but what exactly makes these kids "real alligators"?

[skjam]

Also, you probably shouldn't smoke on a construction site. Definitely don't throw your still-lit cigarette into a pile of wood shavings.

If only Bobby masturbated constantly like a normal boy instead of spending all of his time on the phone.

[fungo_squiggly]

That's the worst of it: he does both. SIMULTANEOUSLY.

You wouldn't believe the things poor Mrs. Montgomery hears when she's trying to put a call through.

I honestly clicked expecting to somehow see Iceman contracting hepatitis. Because, you know, Scans Daily and all...

[lilacsigil]

Me too! And Hep A *is* droplet-borne...must be a risk for someone who draws up water for their transformation!

[philippos42]

I was thinking Sunspot.

[rordulum]

Yeah, I figured this was going to be a repost of when he had sex with Mystique.

[lbd_nytetrayn]

I keep tellin' ya', that boy ain't right!

[glprime]

Party lines. Lord there's something I'm glad I didn't have to live through.

Oh PSA comics, will you ever not be hilariously cracky?

We should totally do a PSA week sometime.

And I was kind of expecting a PSA from SNNNOOOWFLAME at the end. I think that means I've officially watched too much AT4W.
