Reach Out and Touch

An homage to Ma Bell

Magnet Strip Girl noted an unexplained spike in PE's recent cell phone bill. Could PE be conferencing with world leaders to end the spam email problem?(side note--MSG is beside herself trying to understand why so many strangers think she is interested in increasing the size of a body part she does not have. Why else would she receive so many emails offering products to accomplish that very thing? Perhaps the emails should be going to Magnet Strip Guy, though at this time in Alterno World, MSG is unaware of that counterpart.)

One morning while engaged in important tasks at her computer(watching episodes of "Heroes" she had missed), MSG received a phone call. Thinking that perhaps the email spammers wanting to enlarge that body part she did not have had evolved to telephone solicitation, MSG answered the phone with a cautious hello. The voice on the other end of the line was unmistakeable. It was PE, calling from his newly acquired easy chair in his modestly furnished bachelor pad down the hall. He was having difficulty turning on the tv to watch Elizabeth Taylor in "Elephant Walk". (another side note--MSG is unsure at this point whether PE is enamored of Liz or just enjoys watching the elephants smash everything up. Or--is there something deeper...has PE been hired by Jack Bauer to screen old movies for hidden terrorist code?????)

For now, the upsurge in cell phone activity appears to be explained by PE "reaching out and touching" MSG. Gotta love old Ma Bell commercial jingles.
