Subject: Re: A Few Miles Off The Florida Coast Cellular Phoning Becomes Typical Ripoff Posted on: Thu, 16 Nov 2006 00:16:53 +0000 (UTC)

Well, I think I knew this; but it does have a kind of absurdism joke
value to explicitly make a point a la:

10. Hey, you wanna communicate from the sea-cruise cheaply, then
tell-a-fish, sucker.
9. As that wonderful
motto goes: "Don't give a customer a cheap drink nor a reasonable
cellular call"
8. Most popular song in Digicell Bermuda
telephone company lounge: "Nobody promised 'em a toll free
ocean-garden"
7.--1. If ya gotta complain, then write a note on the internet of
ridicule, because there's something semi-consoling about self-righteous
indignity.
