Colonial Hills, OH (AP) Dan and Christine Walker, who last made a cell phone purchase around the time of the Louisiana Purchase, have been rumored to be seen at a local Verizon Wireless Store where they purchased a Family Plan.
"It's true", said a neighbor who would only identify himself as the Whiskey Man. "I saw 'em with them dere--hiccup--fancy new fangled mobile phones. Both the man and the woman--hiccup--both had 'em, and the woman-child with the curly hair too--they were all talkin' on them and they didn't have strings. Kinda like those walkie-talkies they show on TV."
Friends of the Walkers have long been smitten with their devotion to their Styrofoam cup/kite string cell phones, and have all heard Dan say, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." Why the sudden change of heart? Neighbors can only guess.
"The strings were goin' bad", added the Whiskey Man. "They had to yell louder and louder and no one could here 'em, and you can't get strings and cups like that no more."
While the global social, political, and economic impact of this policy shift has yet to be determined, many other friends and family of the Walkers--all Verizon subscribers--are grateful that they can now call them without using up all their minutes.
