Missing Peace The speakerphone paradox

Post image

I was at the pool today when a woman started having a conversation on her phone using the speaker.

I politely asked her if she could not use the speaker and pointed to my headphones.
She said, “I don’t have headphones.”
So I said, “You can just hold the phone next to your ear.”

She looked at me with a completely blank expression and said, “I’m on speakerphone.”
I said, “Well… that’s the problem.”

Apparently, we had reached the limits of modern technology.

No, I just see them at the pool. OP is a guy in his 50s, walks around the neighborhood with his doodle but that's all I know.

It's a dog crossed with a poodle. Doodle.

That part I knew

I was kinda being facetious. Like, what other animal would you cross it with? 

u/Worldly_Philosophy76 5h ago

My doodle is crossed with an asshole, but I still love him!

Looking at your dog's eye(s), it looks like a human wearing a very good dog mask.

We measure the earth completing a full orbit, or revolution, around the sun as a "year."

The man has lived through around 50 of these orbits.
