And Brewster probably couldn’t read the reasons.

Unfortunately the people who should be muted generally aren’t, and those who should be heard frequently can not be, due to those who should be muted.

I forgot, were we talking about zoom calls, or politics.

I was already thinking of that punchline in panel 3. Still funny, though.

Glad that never happened to me during a teleconference /s

Don’t you just hate it, when that ….. happens!!!???

I’m of a generation that will continue to call them mikes. It lets you know the correct pronunciation. Mic looks like it would be pronounced mick – a derogatory term for an Irishman. I don’t think it is because of the % of Irish ancestors in my gene pool. It is more likely the pronunciation issue. But, as an old fogy I’m tempted to blame the younger generation for being lazy and wanting drop the number of letters from four to three to avoid the extra work.

By the way, strike off “superior command of communications technology”. :)

The problem with this long dissertation, is you know he has ADD.

I hate when that happens.

It slows my world domination.

42, heh heh heh.
