In a fit of crazed technolust, I reactivated my Motorola Advisor Gold pager this weekend.

People ask me “Why didn’t you just get a cellphone?” My answers:

  • You would call me.
    • I don’t want you to call me.
      • If you called me and I didn’t answer, I would have to pretend to feel guilty.
        • With a pager, I can easily say “I wasn’t near a phone.” Guilt-free!
