The World's Worst Invention

Telephones.
These things cause more aggro thanb any single object in the universe,
Firstly if you ring a service you're afflicted by a sadist female voice telling you to know your 
place and follow the instructions,
Secondly if you phone someone with a mobile then its practically impossible to reach them 
because they're high on cocaine,
Thirdly if you try to phone a friend they say 'I'm busy can you call back later,
And fourthly if someone phones you then its probably a company's recorded message saying 
congratulations you've won the east coast of majorca,
Fifthly if you haven't been totally p##### off by now then the devil calls and tells you,
You're going to hell for eternity.
I've thrown mine out.
Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Interesting thoughts in the communication age, Anthony. I used to hate phones myself, but they have become a necessity for me. Thanks for sharing.
