Telephone May 16, 2013

I am surprised the telephone did not retaliate, too.

I guess I don't have to worry about always dropping my smartphone, then.

Your abused telephone will make sure that you are put on hold whenever you try to call someone, while being forced to listen to muzak from hell forever and ever.

I'm always nice to my computer. May 16, 2013

I have no reason not to be. I have a Mac...

But thanks for a good laugh, Nicole!
