You definitely lost me at 'the beef train pulling into tuna station.' Almost lost my cookies.

JD: You are so busted. (American Beauty 1999)

I just love the thoughtlessness of people. If you are carrying on a secret affair, you don't leave anything WRITTEN DOWN, anywhere. Not on email, not on text messages, not on love letters, or sexy memos.

Then people wonder why I don't text, why I prefer, you know those slightly old fashioned things called telephone conversations, because unless someone is being sneaky and recording them, there is no proof or transcript of what the hell we were saying!

Plus, on their work phones? Stupid, stupid, stupid. At least if they had been saying these things over the phone no one would catch them because of course the mayor and chief of staff would need to call each other.

Also, just goes to show you office lovers, at least one person knows what you are doing even if you think they don't and they will be more than happy to spread the rumor.

I thought it was hilarious once, I was interviewing for a sales job and could tell the manager and asst. mng were seeing each other, this was just being in the room with them for 5 minutes. I also noticed his wedding ring didn't want to lose the job so I kept my mouth shut. When they eventually got caught inflagrante one night in the stock room, there were pretty much no one left who was shocked about it. There were so many of us young people hooking up, that everyone thought they were being clever and sneaky and nobody knew, but people always knew who was hooking up with who.

You know all the stupid giddiness old fucks feel when they're in an affair, pretending to be young again? Text messaging is part of that idiotic giddiness. Silly horny rabbits, texts are for kids.

BEST. EUPHEMISM. EVER.

Really, I'm making a note of that one.

I find it endlessly amusing that just about every public figure has this bizarre arrogance about their misdeeds. WHEN will they get it through their thick heads that people are GOING to find out? People ALWAYS find out, especially these days. Cellphones, text messaging, computers, internet, more and more cameras everywhere...it doesn't take an idiot to figure out that no matter where you are or what you're doing, SOMEBODY is watching you.

Ah well. It seems ol' George was right - 1984 is here. At least we can be consoled with cases like this, that prove the Orwellian future has the potential to be as funny as it is depressing.

I mean, seriously, I don't read this blog to find out about shi*t that isn't related to the i-Phone or Steve Jobs. That's what other blogs are for....can someone please clue me in? Is this a joke?

Thanks

Jerry Maguire came out in 1996.

In the text messages the Detroit Free Press released, they keep writing about "laying" with each other. They should be writing, "lying." Especially since they did all that lying about it in court last fall.
