That guy on the plane
Ever met that guy on the plane?
Who is dressed super nice? Has shoes that reflect like a mirror? Has the newest Blackberry? And that likes to spill his story to you, free of you asking or even interested? And you realize wow. I'm kind of glad I'm not him.

We have the technology to eliminate the need for that guy to be on that plane, all lonely in his fancy clothes. And it may be something as stupid as rising fuel costs that encourage the business community to start using the technology that is available. Why the hell do people need to fly all over the world anymore? Sure, you want to make eye contact and get a firm handshake before you close that deal, but we won't be able to afford that forever. Better start getting used to it.

Don't you know there is a solution to that problem. Its called an Ipod. While he is stil starting the tale you care naught about... you simply smile as you put your earbuds in place and nod as he continues, humming softly....

I have found yawning, scratching my nads a little too long and looking him straight in the eye whilst doing so stops all conversation very quickly. If I ever find myself in the situation where he leans in closer and starts a husky whisper, then I will proudly announce Valtrex has nothing for what I got, and say rubbers are for woosies!
