Your phone - what do you do with it?

The off switch

Who needs an off switch when you have caller ID?

[Krill]

I don't know the majority of the numbers people have; they aren;t on my phone list, so caller ID doesn't work 100% of hte time for me. Could be anyone.

[Lorizael]

Well that's silly. Besides, you don't immediately google every call you receive from a phone number you don't know?

[Krill]

OK, that could be phrased better.

"I don't know the majority of my friends, family or work collegues phone numbers nor are tehy saved on my mobile phone, so I may not know who is calling me, hence caller ID is not sufficient."

[Krill]

But to be honest, I think answering the phone and asking who is calling is normally quicker than googling the number

I do

[Lorizael]

Heh. I understood what you meant.

[Krill]

Sure you did...

[Lorizael]

The potential for crossposts here was great. Didn't quite pan out, though.

Why can't people do the sudoku or crossword from a newspaper like normal people?

[Pekka]

Because it's for dead people.

It's like this... many of us still enjoy Charlie Chaplin. But we don't dress like him and act like him, because that's acting like death. Just like we enjoy all these WWII stories, the ones with agents and spies, exciting music, and flirting to bossanova, old French cars (that surprisingly works in them) such as Citroen D-series, black of course. Girls wearing high heels and skirts, but it always rains, doesn't it? So you have to have an umbrella, but then again, it is good for spies because it is not as easy for others to see you or hear as you move. We enjoy the small guns they have in those movies, the ones that are smaller than your palm.

But we don't want to be the helper of the spy in those movies, the ones that have a message, but they always are dying when the main character gets to them.

And that's why we don't like our glorious sudokus in an ugly paper.
