Pizza "What"? 'Phone "Why"?
Pizza what did he say?
I was watching an apparently pretentious young man (a foodie?) as he held forth on T.V. about Pizza. He advocated cutting off the pizza crust and folding it into a slice of pizza (sandwich style) in order to create more texture.
He said "This will enhance your pizza eating process".
I thought that I simply ate pizza. I did not know that I should have a pizza eating process. I have so much to learn.
'Phone why do I feel cheated?
I make and receive very few calls on my mobile 'phone, so a prepaid "card" 'phone suits me very well.
I have an AT&T "Go 'Phone". The minimum amount for a prepaid card is $15 - enough in my case for two month's worth of calls.
I got a bit annoyed with AT&T this week when, whenever I tried to make a call, a recorded voice told me that my minutes were about to expire. "Surely not" I thought, "for the 'phone indicates that I have more than seven minutes to go".
The 'phone cut off yesterday. 'Twas then I realized that my prepaid minutes were also time bound, i.e. that I have to use them all in one month, or lose what ever minutes remain.
"What a rip-off, a bit of slick practice in our so-called "free market". My annoyance is compounded because AT&T used to market $10 cards available in local drug stores etc. But now the least expensive card is for $15.
I venture to say that most of us believe than any and all of the mobile phone carriers (contract or pre-paid) are rogues and rascals.
