Warning: Large Birds

It's 2015 and something horrible is happening.

Thanks to a bioengineering experiment that misfired**, the skies are now filled with large birds.

Really large birds.

And they prey on people who use cell phones in public.

Scientists speculate that they're attracted to the inane blather of most cell phone conversations. So they swoop down and carry off the cell phone user.

On one hand, this is good news.

There has been a sudden (and welcomed) decrease in public cell phone conversations. Now ordinary citizens are freed from having to listen to:

• Parents yelling at their children

• Business people explaining mistakes

• Teenagers speaking in partial sentences

And similar nuisance distractions.

It's even expected that long term elimination of such irritations will result in a measurable increase in the public's IQ.

On the other hand, be warned.

If you attempt to hold a cell phone conversation in public, you are now at risk of being carried off by a large bird to a remote mountain top with no cell phone access. No one has yet returned.

** Note: It's rumored that this infamous bioengineering experiment was actually funded by citizens who became fed up with public cell phone calls.

Key Point: Your conversations are a private exchange of ideas. No one wants to hear them. Really.

Much success,
