“People are very protective of their cell phones, how it’s used, where it’s used and how much it costs. It has become a very personal issue for a whole lot of people in this country.”
-Steve Largent

We live in a world where losing your phone is more dramatic than losing your virginity.

Oh brother... Gaffer reminds me of that guy in GOOD MORNING VIETNAM, who tries to coach Robin Williams’ character about what “funny is”. As a professional writer, your quip was spot on.

Another Darwin Award winner.Damned fool should have left the phone where it was and contacted personnel from the MTA and let them know he dropped his phone.

They could have stopper traffic at that location.
