"hang up and drive". I saw that one a few times. There was a funny variation that I forget. Hopefully when you see it, you will tell me what it is. I saw a new dude on the block walking his dog two days ago. He was talking to his dog. Having a long conversation with him. I thought it was odd. Sounded like he was talking business. Not dog business. People business. About some sort of deal where his opponent was playing hardball. I thought it was very strange that he was telling all this stuff to his dog. I stared at his dog. In the back of my mind I thought perhaps the dog would reply. Sorta like the talking horse in the barroom joke. The dog just stared at me. I smiled. Then I looked up. That was when I realized the dude had his cell phone attached to the hip of his dog walking pants and a little wire ran up to his hidden hear with a tiny microphone attached. The dude actually uses the ear piece when not in the car. Nerd. So he gives me a quick Yuppy nod and continues on his way as if everything is normal. The dog had a bumper sticker on his ass that read, "Hang up and Walk!" It tickled my funny bone. I laughed out loud. The dude probably figured I was laughing at the guy on my phone... -AlexanderGrahamsBell
