you can always use tones to widen the range of your vocabulary

And that’s the rub. The people with little to say talk far too much, and the people who have thoughts worth hearing end up talking far too little.

Since when do you need an extensive vocabulary to tie up the phone?

Is that Kamala on the phone?

Well said ;-)

True.

She can burrrribit all day….

Bah. My wife and her sister used to talk on the phone for two hours. (Both in heaven now.)

She mostly just croaks.

She talks so much, she constantly gets a frog in her throat.
