Ed’s Plan For a Better World
April 23, 07 by edIn order to improve the world, the following changes will be put into effect immediately:
- The absence of butter at a cafe does not merit a hissy fit.
- Except in the case of a medical emergency, cell phones may not be used at indoor public places, especially cafes and airplanes.
- When using a cell phone for a medical emergency, the caller is to speak in a low, “inside voice” and is not permitted to say, “I’m in a plane right now” or to discuss other conditions that are inconsequential for the conversation.
- All passengers on airplanes must restrict their bodily appendages, especially legs and arms, to the designated space. All trespassing into the private space of other passengers will be punished through a hefty fine that increases at 15 second increments if the violation continues.
- Airplane passengers who recline back will be ejected from the plane immediately.
This is not a complete list, but it’s a step in the right direction. Additional items may be added through an additional post or through the comment section.

cell phone conversations that begin with, “I am in a movie theater” should result in said sayer’s choice of going without movies or cell phones for one year.

Thanks Adam, I knew I could count on you to help me make the world a better place.
Come to think of it, any conversation that begins or could begin with, “I’m in the bathroom . . .” should be outlawed as well. That’s just creepy.
