I think that the telephone is the invention of Stalin and the Devil. Therefore using the phone requires deep cleansing breaths, acupuncture and a little hypnosis so that I can actually pick up the receiver. Prior to most any phone call, I write down notes on a 3x5 index card to lessen the chance of an untimely heart attack due to being unprepared for a difficult question. The ones that usually catch me off guard are the toughies, like "Is this Heather?" or "How are you?" I figure that with it being 2007 and all and with the wifi and the ability to listen to music on your telephone while wikipedia-ing 'Squeaky Fromme' means that one should be able to simply email a question. The phone doesn't need to be used in every situation, in fact, I'm pretty sure that its use can be limited to dialing 911, ordering Chinese food, and possibly can be fashioned into some sort of weapon.
