Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for October 17, 2009

And Steve Jobs!

We need to start using that more and more, folks!

And if that app fails, here’s another: 12 pound sledge. Works everytime it’s used.

My favorite button. My cell phone is off more than it’s on…and I don’t respond to text messages.

I miss being unreachable.

Mine is on only when I want to use it.

Could I get one of those “off” apps for my wife

For most people, there’s no risk of that particular button wearing out from over use! I wonder what percentage can ever find it…

Hate cell phones – hate all phones actually but they are necessary evils. My family is always complaining because my cell is off more than on, as is the ringer on the house phone.

OFF is great

ahhh… to be untethered, unconnected and floating free society… can you hear me now?

My favorite button. My cell phone is off more than it’s on…and I don’t respond to text messages.”

I don’t have that problem. I canceled to receive text messaging on my phone. I now can’t send nor receive. Just ask to block them.

Today’s strip is not too different from today’s Brewster Rockit.

Forget about turning off, my generation always wanted to turn on, tune in and… Oh bleeep I can’t remember the sixties!

D A M N ! ! ! They bleeeeped d*mn?!?!?!?!?!?! Good job I didn’t say “Oh swive…” (look it up)

As I get older, my memory fortunately gets worse. I forget to bring it with me more often then not.

My phone is…

just a phone.

No apps. No games.

I do think that this whole idea of cramming more and more time consuming cr@p into a phone has gotten just plain silly.

I had text messaging taken off my ATT cell and saved $10 mo.

“You have reached my voicemail. If you have something really interesting, I may get back to you. Or not.

“We are now playing Phone Tag. You’re _IT_!”

Unfortunately, there’s no off button for the blasted TVs in bars, airports, and too many other places…

what ever happened to that key-fob device that consisted of a single button that when pushed rotated through all the popular “off” codes for television remote controls?

I LIKED that idea!

Are the two guys at the end of the bar talking to each other…on their cell phones?

No cell phone, don’t want one, don’t really like the home phone don’t miss anything important . If some one has something for me send an email and I can elect to read or delete it.

Well then, TURN IT OFF!

old gag has a farmer sitting in his kitchen, conversing with a visitor when his phone starts ringing. it keeps on ringing while he makes no move to answer it. finally the visitor asks him if he intends to answer. he replies, “No. I had the thing installed for MY convenience.”
