Technology *finally* being put to good use! ;-)

This is too funny!

Just punch a few keys on your cell phone under the table at the restaraunt, and *ring* *ring* “What’s that? Again? Fine.” (to annoying blind date):”I have to go let my roommate in, she locked herself out again. I’m sorry” And whammo, your fake call, voice cues and all, has let you out of a bad date!

I wonder what other variations on this theme will occur. I need business related ones to get out of annoying meetings.

    I read an article about services who do such things for you. Interestingly enough, it’s a volunteer thingie: you promise to call someone at a certain time (like when they’re having an affair); they help you the next time, etc.

    Ha! Now that is too funny. So, two people who are having affairs (and are thus people who are ok with lying to and betraying someone), are trusting each other? ;-)

    What’s the old saying? “Honor among thieves”?

    Exactly. That must apply across all unethical/illegal professions. Kenneth Lay and Martha Stewart would probably NEVER break each other’s trust!

    Re: Lay and Stewart.
    Must be the assassins they hired for each other ;-)

    Ha! Martha would never do an assassination. At least not on carpet. Too messy. Hardwoods maybe. She has this *wonderful* concoction using home grown banana tree oil (you grow banana trees on the back acre of your summer home, don’t you?)that’ll take blood right out of those hardwoods. ;-)
    Sorry. That was totally random! Don’t get me started on the crazy stuff that woman came up with. My favorite was when she made a Christmas wreath from dried grapevine that she GREW IN HER OWN GARDEN! Yeah, uh, we all have tons of space to grow acres of grapevine, and then have the time to dry it and curl it to make a wreath I can buy at hobby shop for three dollars!
