Hmmmmmm?
I smell a troll at post #9. Just signed up this morning.
Where ON EARTH have you been?
"...cone of silence."
Great "Get Smart" reference. There were so many great gags in that show but that was always one of my favorites. Maxwell Smart always badgering the Chief to use the "Cone of Silence", having the device lower, covering both their craniums then inevitably the Chief reasks the question that he felt required the extra security. Smart would always respond: "What?" The Chief would try again and Smart would never hear clearly which would always prompt the Chief to remove the "Cone of Silence" and ask the question in the initial "unsecure manner".
It was one of those gags that you know the whole sequence just as it started but like the Church Lady (Isn't that special?) every fan still loved it every time.
