| Meander to Your Dander Visualised by archtomato On Wednesday, October 1, 2008 at 16:50 Hrs | Minimum B.S. ok ok, I would say the concept behind the car phone, and the phone machine, the speaker phone, the airline phone, the mobile phone, the pay phone, the cordless phone, the multi-line phone, the phone pager, the call waiting, the call forwarding, call conferencing, speed dialing, direct dialing, IDD and the redialing, is that we all have absolutely nothing to say, and we’ve got to talk to someone about it right now. Cannot wait another second! I mean come on, you’re at home you’re on the phone, you’re in the car you’re making calls, and you get to work, “Any messages for me?” Come on, you’ve got to give people a chance to miss you a little bit. The downside of the modern day message is it usually means somebody wants something from you. There are two types of favors, the big favor and the small favor. You can measure the size of the favor by the pause that a person takes after they ask you to “Do me a favor.” Small favor-small pause. “Can you do me a favor, hand me that pencil.” No pause at all. Big favors are, “Could you do me a favor. . . .” Eight seconds go by. “Yeah? What?” “. . . Well.” The longer it takes them to get to it, the bigger the pain it’s going to be. Hell on earth people. Hell on earth. Humans are the only species that do favors. Animals don’t do favors. A tiger doesn’t go up to a goat and say, “Could you do me a favor and hold still, I’d like to eat you alive.” That’s a big favor even with if there was no pause. Cheers ps: I dunt use a mobile phone any longer.
