An Actual Conversation

HIM: I don’t know, it’s so hard.  I used to have all these friends, and we talked all the time, but now I can’t keep track of them all.

ME:  I think I may have a solution.

HIM:  ??

ME:  You know that device in your pocket?  The one you use for texting and browsing the Internet?

HIM:  Yes?

ME:  I found out that it has another function.  You can use it to telephone someone, and then you can have an actual conversation!

HIM:  Really?  You intrigue me.  What is this tel-le-phone of which you speak?
