Today's Moment to Remember
-I was inspired by my relatives - my mother and wife were deaf and my father, grandfather, and brother all worked as speech therapists
-My most famous invention was patented on March 7, 1876, but I found the invention so bothersome that I did not put one in my office. And today, parents find it so annoying that they wish they never gave one to their kids ;)
-My trusted assistant, Thomas Watson, was a machine operator who helped build my inventions

Do you know who I am yet?
Here's one last hint:
-Three days after receiving the patent, my first words, over the telephone I invented, were, “Mr. Watson, come here, I need you.”
Yes, I'm Alexander Graham Bell - one of America's greatest innovators and inventor of the telephone.
I embodied the spirit of American of innovation that continues today in Silicon Valley, LA, NYC, and all the pioneering locations in between.

We made you think, so now you get to laugh - maybe ;)
Following today's Who Am I theme, ... here's a joke.
What did the man say when he got a big phone bill?
“Who said talk is cheap?”
