short, funny true story

My friend Q is over (she does not want to be identified).

But I can say this of her. She is smart and tech-savvy. Extremely capable. She worked for many many years in television as a graphic designer.

I say all this only to make the point that Q is an intelligent, aware, NY-born person.

She's in my bedroom where I'm showing her something. She says something like, "You always have the most-up-to-date tech toys."

Then she looks at my desk and points to something and asks, "What is this?"

I follow her finger.

I think she's joking. She's not.

"Is this something to raise and lower your bed?" she asks.

Here is where she's pointing.

  1. Funny! I do have a remote on my nightstand to raise and lower my bed and it kind of looks like your phone!

  4. In 1987 I was the only living boy in St Pete to have a rotary phone in use. I have been back home 9 times in 7 years so I got rid of the Frontier wall phone 3 years ago.It cost 62.00 amonth.Just a little too much for a phone I didn't use. We still have a wall phone like yours at my Mom's home though

  5. Won't every one with only cell phones be left in the dust when an emergency happens and Wifi /
    bluetooth etc all go down...ok maybe not forever but I think people are nuts not to have an emergency standby land line!
