The Thumb & Pinky Phone
Turn your hand sideways folding your index, middle & ring fingers, leaving your thumb and pinky up. Voila! You have a prop to illustrate your tale of a phone call. You see – those of us listening to your tale have no idea what it means to call someone on the phone, needing that prop to understand.
OK really – do we not know what you mean when you say you called someone? Do we really need that hand prop? I don’t think so. Stop doing that!
Paying for Fire & Police Services
A growing trend among municipalities trying to close budget gaps is to double charge citizens for police & fire services. Not only do you pay taxes to fund emergency services, but you may well receive a bill from the town for the cost of responding to your emergency. No citizen can customize the size of the emergency response so no matter the resources sent to your aid you’re stuck with the bill. Some fire and auto insurance policies will cover those bills, but if they don’t it comes out of your pocket. Hard to believe? Check out this article from the NY Times:

Let’s drill down on that as, at the end of the day, we have to take it one game at a time. Enough drilling down and we’ll be in China
