A small bit of levity

Now is not the time to Criticize the Galaxy Note 7

After all, it’s not like we didn’t lay out other options! We gave you the choice between the Galaxy Note 7 and the new iPhone, and this is what we came out with. In fact, the iPhone 7 isn’t perfect either! It has no headphone jack and doesn’t handle email accounts the exact way some of you wanted it to.

Anyway, I hope it brings a smile or two.

And Happy Thanksgiving to you all.

"Look, we signed a contract. This is going to be our company phone for the next four years, and you’re going to have to get used to it. I’d consider it a great service to your company if you just accept that, and stop sending me emails about how you’re worried, or how we should put in the effort to make the phone better and less harmful for the people who are clearly most at risk using it. After all, the mail room staff put up with the last iPhone plan, and all they did was refuse to deliver the mail for four years."

Please check out Pet Vet Help, consider joining us to help pets, and follow me @ElenaCarlena on Twitter! Thank you.

Me too! I couldn't resist that title. The writer did a great job hitting all of the clichés but reversing the usual gender tropes.

I enjoyed the other one too. Thanks to Hawkfish for the link. The site itself might yield other interesting reading.

After all, FoxxCon has nets to catch the workers who find preferable throwing themselves off the factory roof than one more day producing iPhones.

Does the Note 7 have nets??

Hey! my dear friends or soon-to-be's, JtC could use the donations to keep this site functioning for those of us who can still see the life preserver or flotsam in the water.

Thank you so much for posting this, Hawkfish! I desperately needed a giggle (had just been reading an essay devoted to the assembling of Trump's imitation of what must have been Hitler's cabinet, and even the much-appreciated avoidance of the Clintons and their doubtless similar picks - which would not have been fought or publicized - couldn't bring much cheer,) and had I any sanity remaining, you would have saved it by this.

A thousand blessings upon you, all of your ancestors, your spouse, children, grandchildren and so forth for a thousand years. I'd suggest spending that thousand years in a different dimension, though.

Edited because for some reason - perhaps my obsession with lowering population levels affecting me subconsciously? or, more likely, just my natural and unthinking defense of my long-held Typo Queen title - I'd limited the blessings to only one grandchild, which really wouldn't have been fair to any others...

Psychopathy is not a political position, whether labeled 'conservatism', 'centrism' or 'left'.

A tin labeled 'coffee' may be a can of worms or pathology identified by a lack of empathy/willingness to harm others to achieve personal desires.

Thanks you kindly - and I will endeavor to be worthy of such blessings.
