Talking Door Knockers, You Got To Be Kidding!

When someone was telling me about knockers my mind went down the old dirt track because knockers in Aussie slang refers to boobs. You know women’s breasts. Anyway it didn’t take them long to put me on the right path, as they explained that it all had to do with Talking Door Knockers What a bummer, and who ever hear of talking door knockers anyway?

I disputed the fact and told them it was all a crock but then they explained how these door knockers existed in a movie called Labyrinth. Oh well I suppose that made more sense but I was still a lot more interested in those other knockers.

Still I suppose there is a place for door knockers in this modern age. I mean shit, aren’t you just getting tired of those boring doorbells. How much more fun it would be to have high tech door knockers instead. Imagine the surprise on people’s faces as they knocked on the door and the knockers talked or made some other weird noise. That and the fact that there would be heaps more different styles of door knockers than you can ever get with doorbells. Yep I can see these things coming back into style and a lot better than using the old knuckles.

When you think of it door knockers have been around for such a long time and are something that you can always rely on to work. Just think of all the times you’ve pressed the doorbell only to find it doesn’t work. It can be really frustrating and using your knuckles just does not seem to have the same effect as a beautiful ornate door knocker. Yeah, I reckon that’s what I’m going to get for my front door, some real heavy duty door knocker that says “A Man Lives Here!”
