A tale of Oral Gratification.

Once upon a time, for that is how all good stories start, there was a land called the USA. In the USA a rather intelligent man, Graham Bell invented an insidious device called the telephone. Everyone loved the telephone and soon households across the great country were adding them. First with just one, then later with several. To cope with this amazing need for instant oral gratification, Mr. Bell formed his company, American Telephone and Telegraph. AT&T for short. :nana:

Soon AT&T had what some considered an unfair monopoly of the telephone services. They controlled all the long distance, local and overseas communications by both telephone and telegraph. Along came some lawyers and a judge named Greene. Judge Greene was a randy sort and so mated with the lawyers and AT&T. The result of this infamous union soon spawned the happy children. The Baby Bells. :D

Now the Baby Bells handled local calls and all the customers were suitably satisfied with the oral gratification thus provided. After a time, The Baby Bells joined into incestuous relationships and soon gave birth to new competition. At first, these new children were distant relatives. No one trusted them however and it was after some time they were given names and gained a sort of backwoods acceptance in the community. After all, cheaper oral gratification is better than more expensive. Yet, some of those companies faded into the background and others took their place. :confused:

Eventually the Baby Bells themselves died off as their offspring merged, copulated and sprung forth new companies providing even more oral gratification than ever before. Why now, you could have your oral gratification with more than one person at a time with a new thing call three way calling. You could even know who you orally copulating with by looking at a neat device called caller id. A handy thing in case the unthinkable happened and your oral delights ended up making you pregnant. :p

Always in the background though was Ma Bell. Watching over things and doing her own kinky thing with all her children. Then one day, not so long ago in fact my pretty little children, Ma Bell decided things had gone on long enough. With a wave of her cordless handset she began to banish the Baby Bells and their offspring to the land of the junk pile. Taking over long distance, local, local long distance, cellular and even satellite, thus satisfying millions of people seeking their oral gratification. ;)

So that is how, children, that AT&T spawned the Baby Bells like Illinois Bell, who later merged with other baby bells to become Ameritech. Other Baby Bells formed SBC and SWB. Ameritech eventually married SBC. SBC hung around for a while only to be absorbed by, yes you guessed it, AT&T. :devil:

Ain't life great. Judge Greene you must be rolling over in your grave. :)

Wish mobile (cell) phone calls weren't so bloody expensive over here. It's absurd.

That's because the UK government encouraged the phone companies to bid silly money for the 3G services. The government takes the money and we have to pay for the phone companies' incompetence. The phone companies are continually encouraging us to use the picture facilities on mobiles BECAUSE they make more money on picture transmissions.

Vermilion Darling, You are a smart chick just think how they make their money, and you have two choices, use their services and make them rich or dont. They will still get rich but it won't cost you so much.

My mobile phone is only for incoming calls and emergencies. I have never dialed out!

Yup. Now I'm in a flat with a landline (as opposed to uni accommodation) I've switched back to PAYG instead of contract and have paid out less than a tenner in 2 months. Money saved is going into the Wedding account :D
