 that people who cant hang up while
  they drive drive as badly as a drunk driver.  I've known too many people
  who've had their cars totaled by dimwits who couldnt be alone with
  themselves in a car for a few minutes. 

 Exactly; what I'm always wondering, as someone who has never owned a cell
phone and has somehow survived nonethless-just what the hell are all of these
folks talking about all the time?  The few times I've ever absolutely had to
make a call from my car I've taken the radical step of looking for a well-lit
spot at a gas station and putting 35 cents inside it.
  And how in tarnation are they paying for it?  Every cell-phone bill I've
ever seen or heard of was damn-near confiscatory insofar as the charges.  For
emergencies I can see owning the things, but as far as everyday usage, unless
your company's fronting it...I just have a hard time seeing the fascination.
 Now, funny little machines that you can type into.g

bringback the party lines!

And the "lucky" thing for George is that he didn't plow into a car with
that SUV of his: he might be looking at a lawsuit as well.

Let's get folks off the phone, and out of SUV's!

This sounds mean, and I'm as big a fan of George as they come, but I'm
reminded of that story of him getting preached to by a recently born-again
friend of his, and George pulling out his pistol and aiming at the friend's
head and shouting "Let's see if your God can save you now!" and firing (and
fortunately missing).  Of course, that was when he was drinking.  Get well
George!

  Singer George Jones Hurt in Crash

  By The Associated Press

  FRANKLIN, Tenn. (AP) -- Country singer George Jones was in
critical condition Saturday after being involved in a car accident near
his home. 

  Jones, 67, was injured at about 3 p.m. when his
sport-utility vehicle smashed into a bridge abutment on Highway 96. He
was taken by helicopter to Vanderbilt University Medical Center in
nearby Nashville. 

  Hospital spokesman Wayne Wood said Jones was being
evaluated by doctors. He said he did not know if the injuries were
life-threatening. 

  Jones, famous for hits like ``He Stopped Loving Her
Today'' and ``The Race is On,'' is generally considered one of the
finest country singers ever. He was married for six years to the late
singer Tammy Wynette. The pair were known as ``The King and Queen of
Country Music'' in the 1970s. 

  Since 1983, Jones has been married to Nancy Jones, his manager. 

  Jones's latest album was due to be released next month by
Asylum Records, his new record label after leaving MCA Records last
year.
