OT: Behold the Lowly Desk Phone.
It sits quietly not saying a word.
It's always in the same place.
It's never in some other purse or pocket.
It doesn't fall out on the floor when changing pants.
It doesn't get kicked under the bed.
It takes a message if necessary.
It is not a constant in my mind.
I can roll on the ground w/o a worry.
I can jump in the lake w/o a 2nd thot.
I don't need a 2nd thumb knuckle to use it.
I don't need teeny tiny fingers to use it.
I can have uninterrupted conversations over the back fence.
Best of all I can SEE the damn thing.
