Berry Funny

For reasons I won't go in to*, I purchased a new BlackBerry this week.

As Christmas rapidly approaches, my phone's inbox is a flurry of family emails discussing who's making what, staying where and arriving when. The entire DDD brood received a message from my brother with this sign-off:

     Sent from my asus home computer
     (I wanted to be pretentious like DDD)

Let it be said. I SUCK at technology. Unless I'm inspired. Exhibit A: this blog.

So, I shot off a reply informing my clan it is the phone which has inserted itself in my communications and that it is the one overly impressed with its Bold intelligence. And that -- thank you very much -- my brother was feeding in to the device's superiority complex, as evidenced by its new valediction:

     Sent from a Verizon Wireless BlackBerry,
     which can do more things
     than you mere mortals will ever comprehend.

Smart phone. Smart ass.

*While loading shopping bags in the backseat, I put my phone down on the roof of the car. Then I hit the highway. Oops.
