Talking without the Telephone

Experiment: To speak to Ship without using the telephone.

Apparatus: Travelling money, a sense of direction, functional vocal chords and a communicating device which is to be forgotten shortly.

Wishful thinking: A nose that stays still and does not keep training vigorously for the Marathon.

Theory: For two people to speak to each other without the use of the telephone they must be within hearing distance of each other.

Procedure:
1. Choice of transport should be such that starting out a few minutes late does not impede the experiment by more than a few minutes.
2. Basic knowledge of street-smart travel is to be implemented and there should be no hesitation to ask an obliging and benevolent policeman for directions.
3. The communication device to be forgotten shortly is to be used briefly and only to ensure that the experiment is in full swing.
4. Greetings and oddly inane thoughts are to be conveyed back and forth using the vocal chords while within seeing and hearing distance of each other.

Observations:
(During a disgruntled expedition pursued by a certain childish-looking person to search for certain items of clothing)
Ship: I will rob your underwear.
LD, who is taller and older-looking, wisely chooses to keep her face expressionless.

(During a conversation about cricket playing abilities)
LD: I can field —
Ship: I can’t field for nuts. Or balls for that matter.
Ship and LD are paralysed with laughter in spite of the gross pun. Ship does her rather loud “whahahahahahaha” laugh.

(After a long conversation, towards the end of the afternoon)
LD: This is nice! We don’t have to use the telephone to talk.
Ship: This is quotable.
*Laughterness*

(Many “whahahahahahaha”s, “hee haw haw haah hah hah”s and Jerry-Mouse-laughs later)
LD: I don’t think I’ll be quoting though.
Ship: You will feel ugh about typing this out? You are insane.
LD: Yeah.

Inference:
1. Ship looks quite young and is equally reedy. And she is pweety!
2. Most bloggers have poor eyesight.
3. Ship and LD are both insane and laugh like crazy lunatics and do not know how to behave in public without embarrassing themselves.
4. Telephone conversations go quite a long way in putting people at ease.
5. Some things simply cannot be quoted!

Result: A happy day owing to a successful experiment.
