One more reason

CBS reports from Paris, France:

Two teens ... took to flashing their breasts to get money from unsuspecting men using ATM machines

Just one more reason I wish I was in Paris (currently $1204 per person with hotel thru Expedia.com). At least when you get mugged, you get groped and a look at some young tits. Beats getting hit over the head like an American.

Europeans are so far ahead of us, socially.

Voicemail grating

When I call you and get your voicemail, I make an effort that the message I leave is complete but brief, informative with as little unnecessary blather as I can manage. When you call me back immediately, without listening to that voicemail, and require that I relay all of that information again, it makes me want to stab you in the face with an icepick.

Perhaps this answers my previous open question to the universe: why do people leave cryptic, informationally barren voicemail messages? It is very possible that this tactic is not necessarily the mark of a lazy, socially inept shitbag, but simply a defense mechanism against such people.

Interesting animals, these humans...
