Days semi-sans Petanque: Fascinating

I always thought there was something vaguely illogical about the whole enterprise. Then someone explained it to me. Their communicators. They were just flip phones. And nothing else. No camera. No step counter. Not even a Pac Man game. It was simply too great a leap of imagination to think they could be used for anything else.




Maybe you are an empath, (Star Trek, season 3, episode 12) and afraid that you will hurt my feelings if you unsubscribe. To which I say, "Be not afraid. My low IQ has blessed me with a sufficiently short attentions span that whatever devastating pain I experience, as a result from the loss of your attention, it will be short lived. An alternative to unsubscribing would be to establish a "rule" in your mail program that send any missives from me directly to your trash bin. That way you would be relieved of any guilt over my anguish and I would continue, blissfully unaware of the diversion of my efforts.
