    For a change, a genie appeared in front of a woman this time…

    “Whatever you want, as many things as you want, just ask.” the genie said.

    “My husband’s eyes should be only on me during all waking hours.”

    “And then ..?”

    “He should not be concerned with anything else in life except me.”

    “And then?”

    “He should never sleep without me by his side.”

    “And then ..?”

    “When he wakes up in the morning he should only see my face first.”

    “And then ..?”

    “He should not go anywhere without me.”

    “And then ..?”

    “If there is even a single scratch on me, he should go crazy with grief.”

    “And then ..?”

    “That’s it.”

    And, bingo, the genie turned the woman into a smartphone!

    When Donald Trump was President the first time and Tik-Tok was on the horizon he said he would ban it because it was just a method for China to get everyone’s information. Then came Biden and now that bird has flown.

    If they ban Tik-Tok, it’ll still show up in those shipments of fentanyl coming into the country

    I wouldn’t want to be the tech who cleans food residue out of a Zefiro user’s phone.

    Does this screen viewing time include time looking at things like the arrival/departure screens at airports?

    An amputee woman was having a drink in a bar, when a man comes up and asks about her missing leg.

    “Oh, it’s really quite an amazing story,” she said. “I used to love surfing! I rode waves all day and all night, rain or shine. One morning, after just an hour or so of surfing, a great white shark came and knocked me right off the board!”

    The man, enthralled by her tale, leans in further.

    The woman continued, “He had my leg in his mouth before I even knew what happened. By pure instinct, I started swatting at his eyes as well as I could while underwater. Then, as quickly as it attacked, it swam right away.”

    “Wow!” the man exclaimed. “So how did you survive?”

    “I was rescued by a fellow surfer, a man I would later fall in love with. Unfortunately,” she continued, with tears welling in her eyes, “he left me just yesterday.”

    “What? But why?” he asked

    “Well, it was all because I tried to tell him vaccines cause autism!”

    “Oh, my,” said the man. “Anti-vaxxer, huh?” He looked down at her one leg. “Well, at least you aren’t a complete idiot!”
