Truth in Advertising Department

[alexxkay]

I was talking with kestrell the other day about how wrist watches have largely become obsolete. Practically everyone has a cell phone and/or PDA which they can tell time with. The only real use for wrist watches now is as fashion. Or, I suppose, because you're so used to the idea of wearing one that you do it out of habit.

I was walking past a jewelry store recently, and glanced in the window. They were advertising a new line of Seiko watches. The brand name? "Citizen fossil".

Is that a cell phone in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?

My cell phone is too old and clunky to fit in most pockets, anyway, and I'm so behind-the-times that it never occurred to me to use it as a time source. But I find pockets a necessity. I even surreptitiously add them to all my SCA garments, along seams so they don't show.

But then I have to remember not to walk around with my hands in my pockets.
