Caption: Phone book in the dark ages: Indispensable reference guide to all friends, acquaintances and local businesses Phone book, in the information age: Cathy: What's a phone book? Mom: Cathy is calling information for the number of a deli to send over a salad! My failure as a role model is complete! She has a phone book right under her nose and a bag of lettuce in her refrigerator! She'd rather pay the phone company $1.00 to look up a number than spend five seconds looking it up in the phone book for free! She'd rather pay $7.00 to have a salad delivered than to dump the pre-washed lettuce she already over-paid for into a bowl! I've called information once in my life as a last resort after exhausting all other options! I've never had a vegetable delivered to my home, and never will! Dad: There, there...It's never as bad as you think. Voice (from phone): For 50 cents, we'll dial the number for you. Dad: It's usually worse. Mom: How can they emulate us so little, and blame us for so much?
Isn’t it funny (funny strange, not funny ha ha) that nowadays people would rather pay to have technology do something they themselves could do for free.
Wow, that was kinda boring. I guess it what happens when I take a comic strip too seriously. GreggW we who hang out here rarely want to take Cathy et al too seriously. There’s no fun in that.
