Mario, I had heard about the "jammers" on CNN, last week! When I heard they were illegal, that thwarted me from buying one! Are phoners, that "needy", that they have to be ON the thing, 24/7? I wonder sometimes, if there IS someone on the other end, or are they THAT rude? Whatever happened to manners, like "excuse me" and "thank you"? Bring back TELEPHONE booths! We're a rude, MEANspirited, "JUST ME" society, now! Great piece!
