Loose Parts by Dave Blazek for May 13, 2023

Flip it open to read it.

Can you hear me now?

Switched off permanently now.

No network connection (unless you’re devoutly religious).

…and it’s making a come back! I liked mine.

One ringy dingy…..

He might have an interesting ring tone. Sadly, he has NO messages waiting. Just spam hang-up calls.

Like most flip phones, now in the recycle bin.

He got that idea from Star Trek:TOS

Now it’s permanently locked to Dial-a-prayer.

Call it and see if anyone answers…

He had a great funeral reception.

Wonder how many bars he has now?

And he’s using Sprint’s network.

In case he’s not dead, he can press 1 and the lid pops open and he can call home…

he used to give you a flip reply, but now you’ll only get a stiff answer…

Why the flip got outmoded is a mystery to me. It’s compact—not the size of a roadside poster—and it does everything an iPhone does, at $30/a month. The public is a bunch of gullible suckers.

I hope he wasn’t unhinged.
