Would somebody please tell men who walk around with those stupid Bluetooth headsets permanently jammed into their ear, even if they're not talking on them, how dorky they look? Would somebody please tell women that it doesn't matter how done up you are, if you walk around smacking chewing gum with your mouth open, you look like a hick. I'm just sayin'.

My favorite was a guy I saw who had the Bluetooth in one ear and answered another cel phone with the other, bellowing at the top of his lungs, like he was actually Someone Important.
He was buying peanut butter at Wal - Mart.
Very impressive.
Oh Amen, Amen I say to you!
I was thinking about getting one of those ear things for my morning drive, but I just cannot get past the dork-factor.
And another thing (about cellphones), I've started to notice that the worse the neighborhood, the more prevalent the cellphone. If you go to the really bad sections of town, everyone and her pimp has a cellphone stuck up to their ears.
One more semi-snarky observation: the more rural the locale, the higher the concentration of fireworks stands.
I believe it was Andy Warhol who said that it is very square to be afraid to appear square.
Only Lt. Uhuru could pull off wearing that ear accessory.
I saw a guy wearing one while playing racketball last week. Yeah.
