     I heard an NPR interview with Matt Groenig a year or so ago.. It seems that Burns "Hoy Hoy" answer to the telephone was what Edison wanted. Apperently Edison disliked the idea of saying "Hello" as if the person was actually present. It's all part of Burns anachronisity. (Is that a word?) Anyway, I thought that was cool, I didn't know why the hell he said that untill then.
