I had to laugh the other day at the stupidity of our news media; they were saying something along the line of "the economy is failing because Apple sales are down." WOE IS ME, APPLE SALES ARE DOWN, OMG! I had to flip that sentence in my head as "Apple sales are down because the economy is failing." Really though, we're blaming Apple sales for our failing economy? Did we not have an economy before the invention of the iPhone? Oh, the absurdity, I had no idea!
No, prior to the iPhone we used to chuck spears at caribou and purchase loincloths with shiny rocks. To purchase a pair of apple bottom jeans and the boots with the fur, we'd pay our local rickshaw to pull us twenty miles across the misty mountaintops and through the woods until we reached a bustling trading post where the gypsies lived. Before the iPhone, the only way to call grandma was to send her a smoke signal while doing a rain dance under a cherry moon.
