@searching with my good eye closed: Best comment in the whole thread! Nicely done!

@cassiebearRAWR: No, but you're wanting some else (a degree), you're working hard, you're determined.

@Arken: I don't think it's jealousy. I think it's more a "what's the WHOLE story" issue. And those are good questions - who bankrolled the original venture, who was willing to sign some of the deals he had to get in place (because at 14 there are few cases in which you can create a binding contract by yourself), etc.

@Fish_Beard: Put a couple of iPhone bumpers in there and sound like a license-plate fre motorcycle.

@Drummertist v.2: Not in every state and province in North America. Excludes the usual - Quebec, non-residents, Alaska and Hawaii have a surcharge, etc.

@Die Fledermaus: But every time an iPhone rings, an angle gets a protractor. Or something like that...

@Return of DaOtter: We'll keep plugging away at the pun run until no one has any more bright ideas.

@Stem_Sell: I used to play a lot, until I sort of got burned out.

@Mr. Black: This wasn't a vote, it was "A national survey of 2,252 adults". That number is probably statistically derived to yield a certain level of "certainty" to their results, but it's by no means exhaustive or error-free.

@shimanopower: Check the Dilbert cartoon for 2010-08-11.

Actually, the more probable explanation is that the doorbell is on the OUTSIDE of the shop, and thus must be repaired by some particular union responsible for the public areas of the mail, and they'll be getting around to it, as time permits. Inside the shop, it's your own doing...

@balloondoggle: Kudos for getting to the "ten foot pole" joke first...

@Kaiser-Machead v.2.1.1: it almost needs a ramp on the outside to jump in, with a ramp in the other end of the pool to jump out.

@Prostate of Grace: Damn. I live in the USA. We don't have meters here...

@jepzilla: iPhone? Horny? Caveman? I think we found out why they have some many partners!!

@Zool SD: Yeah - and wider. I'm just imagining the crush when people are trying to leave.

@butaneko: Looks like there's something seriously wrong with that tooth...

@Kieran Jones: Definitely!

@TendoMentis: Is there a Kindle version of that?

Where does the iPhone and it's attractant powers for more partners fit into this?
