I do admire the whole "friend of mine" and third person routine. Has your nose healed? ;) //L
True story! Honest! :-D Besides, as my friends would be quick to point out, you can tell it wasn't me because the story didn't start out, "Well, I was drunk and stoned at the time, and then..."

Copywriting ServicesReminds me of an old joke; A man goes to visit his friend, only to find he has third degree burns on both sides of the face. Horrified, he asks what happened. His friend explained, - I was ironing some shirts when the phone rang. Without thinking, I put the iron to my ear and said 'hello'. The pain was so intense I almost passed out, and when I looked myself in the mirror I started to cry. - But you are burned on BOTH sides of the face??!? - You'll never believe what happened when I tried to call the ambulance... //L

All you have to do is hold the iPhone closer to your face.
A friend of mine had a particular technique for determining if an iron was hot enough yet to iron his shirts. He thought people who quickly touched the surface of the iron were foolish because they were making contact with a potentially hot surface. Reasoning that the face was more sensitive to temperature than the hands, he therefore just held it close to his nose to determine temperature. I didn't know any of that. I just saw him pick up an iron and (miscalculating the distance) press it to his nose. He thought I was most inconsiderate for laughing at him. For the record, I wasn't laughing at him getting burned, just the look of surprise on his face. From my point of view, for some inexplicable reason he just pressed an iron to his nose. What on earth did he expect? :)

True for the calloused (palm) part of the hands, but using the back of them would have more than sufficed.

Everyone in my office has an iPhone except me - I have an Android phone.

The flow chart is missing a vital point - if you have an iPhone, and for some inexplicable reason WANT an iPad... All you have to do is hold the iPhone closer to your face. Ta-daaaaa! Instant iPad! //L
Or get two, one for each eyeball.

That reminds me of the scenes in the movie "Brazil" where all the workers computers had these 6" screens with the huge fresnel lens to magnify them...
