For those who don't know, megaphones were giant telephones that once roamed the planet in huge numbers humming show tunes and spirituals. Their only means for doing so was via the trunk call. Aside from the modern telephant, a relative runt with no appreciation at all for musical theatre, megaphones became all but extinct following the global implementation of cellular technology.
