The combination of bluetooth headsets and mobile
telephones has been a boon to the mentally insane, who
can
now talk to the voices in their heads without being
stared at.
Proposed, nowfore, is a mobile telephone with a voice-
activated menu that responds only to expletives. Such a
phone
would have genuine utility, since most expletives
are
monosyllabic, distinct and readily identifiable, and
hence are
easily recognisable by speech recognition software.
Moreover, it would make it easier to edit text on the
small screen, because there'd always be a curser.
More importantly, though, the widespread adoption of
this
system would enable people with coprolalic Tourette's to
have an easier passage through life.

Only ten days to the solstice, and you just earned top spot in the Wicker Man, [Ian]. |

Anyway, the winter solstice is the important one
(rebirth, the promise of spring, plenty, new growth,
etc.) so all those people in silly robes at Stonehenge
are six months too late/early. |

Coprolalic is a bad word. Doesn't roll off the tongue well at all. |
