This got me thinking: Does this mean that kids these days aren’t doing the banana telephone thing? I’m young enough to never have seen a telephone (as opposed to a mobile phone) other than in movies and museums, but maybe I lived in sufficient temporal proximity to the era of wired telephones to have banana telephones as a part of my childhood.
That got me thinking. The universal hand sign for “call me” or “I’ll call you” is to stick out your thumb and pinkie and hold your hand to your face like you’re talking on the phone. It just doesn’t work the same if you hold your hand flat like it’s a smartphone.

Seriously though, because of Raffi, it might be a few generations before people in general don’t know of Banana Phones.

Nah the younguns think you have to hold a phone like a fuckin slice of toast now anyway
Hold hand in claw (like you’re going to grab a giant burger). Move hand toward side of head. Mouth the words “call me”. It works.
