E.T., Home Phone

My cellphone just rang with a promotional call from my cable company. They first tried so sell me expanded digital cable packages, which I politely turned down since I don't actually, you know, watch TV (the cable is just for internet access). The kind saleswoman then tried to sell me on their digital phone service, which I also turned down. When she asked about my existing land line company, I told her that I had none. Surprised, she asked how I was able to survive without a telephone.

"Well, you're talking to me on the phone now, aren't you?"
