    HAHA, I didn't notice that the words were abbreviated for a minute or so. I couldn't figure out why it was funny. Shows my age I guess.

    today we pray to Nike and run like hell
    Hey Barry,
    . . . of course you know that Nike is the "winged goddess of victory" according to Greek mythology, right? . . . so, why are you running and from what?!

    Well me being 17 most likely provides that you have a few years on me. I don't know if what I had said was understood, but i meant to say that I read the sign just like I would have read any real piece of english.What was so funny to me was that I did not recognize that it was in txteze until a couple of re-readings and about a minute after the first reading.

    I never even call my best friends or brother. We have whole conversations with texts. I don't even pay attention to how many, most have the same company as I do and I have unlimited in-texting.
    Needs a 2dr Ascona, everyone else has one.

    Sounds like one of my employees I fired last year...

    texting while in the restroom...she would go 12-15 times a day
    bladder problem......no just texting...her phone would
    tone maybe 35 times each day or more...3 warnings...unemployed

    Has anyone ever texted while driving...tried it once...the black marks
    on the road have almost faded...week or two maybe they will be gone
