Cold Turkey

Trumpets blared from orifices hidden Awaiting his doom, the prince was bidden To enter the dark hole of all things unknown Suppressing a shriek, he unplugged his phone

"suppressing a shriek" put this one over the top of hilarious to me!

It's the 'Psycho' in me... Couldn't let it out in public. ~ Tony Perkins

Even silence ticks away. I'd like to unplug everything but then I couldn't "talk" to you.

Wrong? Wrong?! WRONG??!! LOL. You were 100% right. I found it hilarious, actually, after it came bursting out of my (empty--remember) cranium. Really, it's supposed to be ironic humor. So, you got it!!! Way to go, Brenda SUPERSTAR! Cheers, Gershon

Looks as if you may be the only one who got it and/or cared to get it... Ah, this is what happens when you leave me to my devices! Smiles, Gershon
