CELL PHONE ETIQUETTE

Via the Feral Irishman

After a tiring day, a commuter settled down in his seat and closed his eyes.

As the plane climbed  to cruising altitude and the seat belt sign was turned off, a woman sitting next to him pulled out her cellular telephone.

She started talking in a loud voice:

“Hi sweetheart.   It’s Sue.   I’m on the plane.   Yes, I know it’s the six thirty and not the four thirty but I had a long meeting.

No, honey, not with that Kevin from the accounting office.   It was with the boss.   No sweetheart, you’re the only one in my life.   Yes, I’m sure, cross my heart!”

Fifteen minutes later, she was still talking loudly.

When the man sitting next to her had enough, he leaned over and said into the phone:

“Sue, hang up the phone and come back to bed.”

Sue doesn’t use her cellular phone in public any longer.


ACED IT BITCHEZ!!!

We are a country of maroons. Pew Research conducted a survey of Americans last week regarding basic facts that every American should know about the world. It consisted of 12 questions. I got all 12 correct in the one minute it took me to complete the quiz. The results of the quiz on a national basis are mind boggling and confirms everything we think about the ignorant zombie masses staring at their iGadgets. Being connected doesn’t make you smart or aware of what is happening in the world.

Take the quiz by clicking HERE, before reading my comments.

Get a load of these results:

  • Only 1% of Americans got all 12 question correct. I made it into the 1%. Yippee!!!
  • 58% of Americans got less than 6 answers correct.
  • 33% of Americans got less than 4 answers correct. It’s a multiple choice quiz with only four options. You could guess randomly and get 3 answers correct.
  • Sorry women. Men answered 11 of the 12 questions more accurately than women.
  • It does appear that college makes you smarter, but not necessarily smart.
  • Young people are dumb. Hysterically, the only question they aced was the level of the minimum wage. I guess they know that one because that’s what they are making, based upon their clear lack of intelligence.
  • Only 33% of Americans know the unemployment rate.
  • Only 20% of Americans know that Social Security is the highest spending item in the budget.
  • Only 20% of Americans know the poverty rate.
  • Only 24% of Americans know the name of the chairperson of the Federal Reserve.

The ignorance is breathtaking to behold. But, I bet that more than 75% of ignorant Americans know the name of Kanye West and Kim Kardashian’s bastard baby. If so few people know who runs the Federal Reserve, imagine how many Americans understand inflation and currency debasement. We are truly doomed. And we deserve everything we are going to get. We are a country of morons, run by morons, for morons. Morons unite.
