9. I'm sorry. Could you repeat that?

I was busy working on my manifesto which condemns the Industrial Revolution.

4. Jesus H. Q. Rhyste on a pink, yello-polkadotted nuclear powered pogo stick

What's next? Performing (as opposed to receiving) oral sex while driving?

At least you can keep looking at the road.

10. You are the fastest text message typer I know....

I think you are the only one who can get away with texting while driving.

11. Plus I use predictive text, so I rarely have to look at the thing

Although, that sometimes leads to such messages as "I'm going to the mall, wanna ho?" :D

(I don't know how when or why I taught my phone to use the word 'ho' in place of 'in' or 'go', but there ya ho. :D)

12. I heard on the radio the other day

that in this country, the word "book" has come to mean "cool" amongst kids. You can guess why.

I thought, kids are geniuses! Why didn't I ever think of that? I always turn prediction off and type it in myself!

19. I don't talk on my cell phone when I drive, - but

I have no problem sending a text message if I'm behind a long line of cars at a red light, or waiting for a bridge. I wouldn't do it while the car was in motion, but hey - if I'm stuck there for a while anyway, why not.
