Voicebox...

...or, at least that's what I think it's called.
First up, no offence intended here to anyone - what I want to do, I acknowledge is completely immature, but in no way do I wish to make fun of a serious illness.
I saw a guy the other day, had this doohicky that he held onto his throat, and it made him able to speak, he had an injury or had some kind've operation perhaps?
I understand some people who have/do have throat cancer get these.
They sound like a robot when they talk.
So...I want one.
Can you buy them without a condition that makes them a requirement?
You don't need some kind've implant for them to work do you?
How much would I be looking at?
Anyone?

...it's just, I thought of incorporating it into a halloween kinda getup...that, and well, drunken fun.

Again, not to make fun of those that NEED them, not in any way my intention here, I would just love to sound, something like a 70's cylon too.

Ha, so I'll have to take up smoking?
It's either that or asking the guy to have a look at his...hey now, what's that there? can I see? Hey, Lemme hold it...I'll uh, be right back...
