The cover caption, pertaining to the wearing of Bluetooth earpieces:

He can barely pull it off, and you're not him.

I find talking on the phone while I pee/poop very hard, but I still do it and give my friends a play by play.:D

Hey, been there, done that....



Seems like sometimes its the only place where no one bothers me!

People that walk around with bluetooth earpieces in are dorks. Ask any of my friends. I make fun of every single one.



I do not have one any more. Its against CA law to talk on your cell phone, so the cell phone rides in the back seat.

I'm not sure who has the sick/weird issues here.
You - For giving the "play by play".
or
Your friends - For listening to it.

There's something just wrong in all that.

Hatterasguy 08-05-2009 10:35 PM

Well I was kidding, but the point was so they would stop )*(&()*(*( calling me all the time.:rolleyes:

WVOtoGO 08-05-2009 10:38 PM

Oh !!
That's good.

Ya had me worried there for a minute.

Now... about the nuts thing....

I march to a different voice in my Ear piece, it play reruns of MASH? :eek:

Hatterasguy 08-05-2009 10:45 PM

I don't even own an ear piece. Since your not supposed to talk on your cell and drive in CT I figured I'd get one eventualy...like when I got a ticket. Well its been years and it hasn't happend, its one of those laws thats on the books that everyone ignores. I know I ignore it.:D

Usualy when I see a cop driving by I just tell whoever I am talking to to hold on and put the phone down as they pass.

Shelby would love one of those.

A full blown "MASHoholic", she is.

Flag on that play.. Man Rule violation..

Section 7 article 2.3

"There shall always be a gap of one urinal between Men when using the restroom, if such space is not available, use a stall."

With that drink on the adjoining urinal, and the auto-freshner above the drink...that picture has "WRONG" written all over it...

1. - I wouldn't touch that glass after setting it down in that setting...I'd leave it there...

2. - I'd be shutting the phone off...too many "flakes" could be taking pictures...besides, in some municipalities, it's against the law to take a photocam/photophone into locker rooms/restrooms unless they are turned off or hung up and not answered...

3. - And unless you're one sick puppy, you don't need that crap in the crapper...some things just don't mix...water and oil, military and intelligence, cellphones and bathrooms, Democrats and Common Sense (You knew I was sneaking that it!!!! :thumbup1: ).

Drop the phone call and then drop the duece & ace...then get out into the fresh air and pick up where you left off...and not where you're leaving the 2-1...period. :rolleyes:

I won't use a Bluetooth earpiece because it looks too dorky, although my hair would probably cover anything but the largest model.

I think we have 50-somethings (who, unlike ME, actually look to be 50-something) :) who bought these so they can appear to be "up on things". No idea if they can actually operate them or not...or even if they have a phone.

I also think it's weird to see people "talking to themselves" at work. OTOH I talk to myself at work all the time and I don't even have an earpiece. It's always pleasant to have a conversation with someone intelligent :).

Generally, I won't use a cell phone while going to the bathroom because it lowers my hitting percentage.
