OK, say you;re a woman, you;re riding on a crowded bus or subway car. This thing starts buzzing, you suddenly sit up straight.

I believe he also read the ads for Signal Go-Farther Gasoline on the Whistler. If it’s him, his voice appears quite a bit from the 40s to the 70s, but I can’t remember his name.

Girl, get a cardboard box to slide under that laptop to elevate your screen, and a separate keyboard to plug in to that laptop, then get some work done!
