Cartoon: man standing looking "lost". Caption "I wish someone would
invent a phone with a cord on it so that you could find it!"

Look, the *last* thing I need is a portable, untethered phone
that the ladies of the house can wander around with, yakking
all day long.

So the main phones in the house are candlestick type,
with short cords. So the person has to stand there,
with both hands occupied.
