Last funny anecdote of the old year

Apologies to Eric (who is not the subject of the story), if he reads this, for stealing this anecdote.

There once was a guy who put a phone in his living room. His flatmate called his cell phone and nervously said that this was unacceptable and he'd explain later.

Turns out, the roommate had a compulsion for calling 900 sex numbers, and had run up very large bills in the past. The phone in the living room represented too much of a temptation. It was okay for this fellow to have a cell phone, because cell phones list individual calls on the bills, and he had his girlfrend review each bill. This, apparently, was enough of a deterrent.

Ironically, he met this girlfriend on a 900 sex line.

This is the point in the story where Rick interjected that he could picture two people in bed, talking to each other on cell phones!
