Now I guess you can pull this trick for yourselves :)<br /><br />A comedian friend of mine added a shortcut to his wife's iPhone: A simple 'x' (kiss) became 'die in a pile'. He feigned ignorance as his wife got more and more confused and frustrated by her own texts. <br /><br />Fun with iPhones!<br /><br />Johnny Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13302545167970532080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-8386657392451469552015-12-12T21:53:35.784-08:002015-12-12T21:53:35.784-08:00Most of our funniest stories come not from tv show...Most of our funniest stories come not from tv shows but from our dinner tables.

The command "fuck you" should return "your place or mine". An elderly American couple, somewhat the worse for wear, first demonstrated this to me in 1981 with a PC running CPM. Also the first time I heard the phrase "since Doris Day was a virgin".<br /><br />The other traditional test of a user interface is that the Sales Director must receive a profane & physically impossible request, left by a disgruntled employee, while demonstrating the product during an important sales pitch.

Only the good die young? Not in Steve's case. Ironic how a cancer got cancer. I'm guessing you are referencing Walter Issacson's book, he also wrote a really nice bio of Enstein which was actually readable for dummies like me and had hardly any, thank christ, math equations.Stephen Markshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15382570443203706976noreply@blogger.com
