Cause the club removed any need for communication,no need to fuck about finger tapping,waiting for a reply etc.Simply raising the knuckles above shoulder height and swinging ensured compliance in all things.No maintanace and no monthly fees.

True. True. And no risk of misunderstanding. Biff on the bonce means y'r gonna get fucked.

Alas , we live in degenerate times. I don't suppose that hitting a chick on the head with the cell phone would have the same result ?

Possibly the more subtle approach of setting it to vibrate and

Well thats all very well for the CHICK. But it doesn't do much for ME , does it?

See this is the result of giving them the vote. Once upon a time we had clubs . So the men got laid. Now we have cell phones, and the chicks use them as vibrators and we miss out entirely. Bring back clubs I say. I wonder if AMC have a position on this.

Actually mate theres another use for the club,no need for those fangled battery things either,would hate to be called selfish,"its yours when you get back from making me a sammie......oh and dont forget the ashtray"generally followed by a fart loud enough to make even the dog jump off the bed.All this with Tracy Chapmans "fast cars" with to much base.

Still doesn't do anything for me.

The world changed for me when semiphore became obsolete.

Fuck. When did that happen? Noone ever tells me these things. Bugger, I suppose one day *Morse* will be reckoned obsolete.

Free stuff out of what?

I think the most I have ever used in a month is 50 odd, and that felt like too much. Once I get a reply from a 2nd text, I can't be bothered texting again, and will either ring the person or drop the conversation.

Definitely takes up too much time when you consider you can talk hands free instead. Can't text hands free.

On the flipside, one of my client's teen daughters used approximately 23,000 texts in one month. We tried to calculate it

Assuming 30 days, 12 hours a day in one month, she sent approximately 1 a minute every single day of the month for 12 hours a day.

Yeah I know, I could not remember the maths I did, but that is an astronomical amount of time to be texting. I fear for the joints of these texting menatilistsin years to come, they will wear out really early.

I text a lot. It's easier to form replies, while they do sometimes get misinterpreted.

I easily go over my $10 worth of text messages in a month, but lots of that is just bollucks talk about nothing important.
