isn't it romantic

Back in the day, Sarah and I racked up monstrous cell phone bills. She had one carrier, I another, and this was before unlimited minutes to any phone. Add it up and my phone bills routinely exceeded $400. So in a testament to just how much sense cell phone charges make, I bought her a second phone, put it on my plan, and cut my monthly bill by 80%.

And then we broke up, and I didn't want to pay for that second phone any more than I now want to buy stock in Pan-Am airlines. I tried everything, even resorting to "She'd dead. I can't believe you people are doing this to me."

Falling in and out of love, defined.

Epilogue: no dice. Verizon doubtless hears that one all the time.
