As a dream comes when there are many cares, so the speech of a fool when there are many words. (Ecclesiastes 5:3)
As I walked through WalMart the other day, there was a woman who was yapping on cell phone. She was speaking loudly and about rather personal matters.
My thought was that she was a fool.
Someone once said that the nicest part of no being telepathic is that you don’t have to listen to the thoughts of fools. But no more. They are everywhere, talking loudly as if they were the only ones in the store. And with the advent of Bluetooth and the ear buds, they have the ability to really carry on a conversation with the air.
I remember the first time I saw a man talking on a phone without holding it to his head. At first I thought he was mad, but not many crazy people wear tailored suits (well, more than that – they just blend in well). He was a lawyer and had the latest in technology at the time.
Then, all of a sudden, there were a lot of people with earbuds and speakers on wires. Then Bluetooth and the madmen seemed everywhere.
The funny thing about it is that if you look at them while they are talking, they get irritated, like you are eavesdropping, when all you are doing is hearing the speech of a fool.

You are welcome to say anything you want as long as it is nice. If I don't like it, or it is ugly, I will take it off, place it into the garbage disposal, grind it up, and allow it to be flushed into the Gulf of Mexico where it will be eaten by a fish and then excreted where it will lie on the bottom of the ocean until it is covered up by other comments.
