Cell phone rant

Who doesn't have a cell phone? Me. I use a home phone and I'm happy with that. I don't like people being able to reach me wherever I go, I don't want to lose or break it, and I sure as hell don't want to pay expensive bills. Charges for text messaging doesn't affect me at all. Bring it on. People argue that it's great for emergencies. Like what? My car breaking down? Wait a minute, that happened to me! I just knocked on a door old fashioned like and used their phone. Beautiful. And usually if you're in a group and need to use a phone, everyone around you has one.

It's great entertainment for others when you use their phone and don't know how to dial the number. I needed three coaches to help me send a text to Special on Saltspring. This boosts people's ego because they feel technologically advanced. I have a phone that plugs into the wall and says "BC Tel". Darius rescued a red phone out of the dumpster for me. It has a headpiece and I'm going to bleach it.

Most interesting ways people I know have wrecked their cells:
1) Dropped in a glass of Baileys.
2) Dropped in a urinal. Mmmm: soap cake flavour.
3) Run over by an SUV.
4) Dropped in a deep fryer at A&W. What does that do to the fries?!
