I have a new "twitch". When I am in bed and I yawn, my left(bad) hand raises up. I don't even notice it unless I am watching for it. It has been a source of mystery and entertainment for my nurses and visitors

Ok. So all the stuff you work is gonna need maintenance until it is replaced, isn't it?

Hey, Doc!

I never could get money out of the damn things myself! Worse than a one-armed bandit!

Not exactly. If we get out of the business of (“switched dial tone”) think land lines again, they will just shut it down (decommission it) and if you are not able to be served by cellular, your out of luck. You would be forced to get your service elsewhere ( can you say cable company?).

Let’s see if we can keep Markcus up really late. He’ll be so tired he won’t be able to stop yawning and before you know it he’ll be playing the piano!
