I'm not sure why.

So the computer companies call them 'notebooks'.

We don't. We call them laptops.

But the computer companies won't budge.

I'm not sure why.



And the phone companies call them 'mobile phones'.

We don't. We call them cellphones.

Or the cool people call them iPhones.

Nobody has ever called them mobile phones.

Except for the companies.

I'm not sure why.

And then there is Cousin Saul.

Cousin Saul likes to call it 'Kleenex brand facial tissues'

We don't. We call them Kleenex.

Nobody else calls them Kleenex brand facial tissues.

Except for Cousin Saul.

I'm not sure why.

  1. Did Cousin Saul send you a note on your Notebook or give you a call on your mobile phone and that's what gave you the idea for this web log entry?

    Why do they call it an iPhone when you barely use it as a phone?

    Oh I'll
    Tell you something
    I think you'll understand
    Oh I'll
    Tell you this thing
    It's time you wiped your nose
    Oh won't you wipe your nose
    And when you do it
    On your sleeve
    It's kinda yucky
    And looks like you had
    Some solo sex
    And missed the Kleenex
    And missed the Kleenex
    And missed the Kleenex
