Turn OFF Your Cell Phone, PLEEEEASE !

December 27, 2008

Today, let’s play jeopardy.
The answer is :

As Far As I Know : NO !!!!!!!!

 

The question to the answer is :

Does a steering-wheel look like a cell phone ?

 

If so, why do we see too many drivers holding their bloody cell phones and endangering people’s lives every second of the day in all parts of the world ? They get themselves involved in shallow conversations instead of being concentrated on road signs, traffic lights and other street users.

Last year a 4 wheel car nearly hit me at a zebra-crossing. The light was green. I meant to cross the street at an intersection. All of a sudden, a car turns swiftly to the left. I jumped swiftlier to the side. That saved me from many bruises and broken bones. The damned driver was talking on the phone while turning at highspeed to the left.

I hate those drivers. If I could, I’d send them all to hell.

But some other people have found smoother ways to protect us from those killers. Read this :

Learning The Other French

 

I spent so much time surfing their site that my homework went undone at the end of the day. It had been a pleasure to refresh my memories by reading some explanations of colloquial expressions contained in one of my favorite languages.

French is the tricky language par excellence. Words are very often not spelled the way they sound. This can cause heavy headaches. If your headaches persist, only one thing can save your mental : take your French manual and your mattress to the doctor’s waiting room. Stay there and make yourself comfortable until you are done with your French learning. Then and only then you can get back home.

Have you noticed how many difficult French words the young participants of the Spelling Bee contest must SPELL RIGHT in order to win? So difficult French words that lots of people living in France and using their mother tongue on a daily basis are unable to spell correctly.

Some among them use the SMS language to disguise their weakness mastering the official spelling rules although they don’t text message on cell phones. Fortunately the SMS language is banned from many forums, since it is not easily read and understood by common sense.

It was inevitable, really.

We’ve seen quick-footed thieves swipe GPS units that eventually led to their arrest and a bank robber who didn’t even bother to close his clamshell while holding up the joint. Now, in the latest example of thieves caught by stolen gadgets, it looks like the nifty $100 Eye-Fi card

LEMONADE and computer keyboards do not mix. I learned that the hard way a few weeks ago, when my stepdaughter accidentally spilled some onto her iBook laptop. Over the phone, I told her how to remove the keyboard and blot up the mess.
