Those of you who know Don know that he insists on using a flip phone that was developed around 1987. (See photo). This, not surprisingly, renders him the subject of much disparagement from friends and family alike.
Claire, our resident comedian (and devotee of her own, more high-tech cell phone as well as all Chuck Norris jokes), issued an incessant stream of phone-related insults this weekend. For some reason, strolling around Newport, Rhode Island seemed to bring out her best, geeky one-liners. They included the following:
"Dad, does your phone run on stored power from the Big Bang?"
"Hey Dad – was your phone invented by the ancient Sumerians?"
"I’m pretty sure Dad’s phone preceded the creation of the wheel."
"When homo-habilus went to the place between two rivers, they found Dad’s phone."
"Hey Dad – was your phone invented by the ancient Sumerians?"
"I’m pretty sure Dad’s phone preceded the creation of the wheel."
"When homo-habilus went to the place between two rivers, they found Dad’s phone."
And, in homage to Newport (est. circa 1639), “What's older, Dad? These buildings or your phone?”
