What Are They Doing?


Again yesterday I went to the park to exercise and try and keep my heart from attacking me. Starting from the moment I drove into the parking lot I could see that something strange was going on.

Instead of walking, running or being pulled along by their little while dogs as usual, all over the park my fellow health seekers were intently pecking at their phones. It looked like they were in the last row of my church at Sunday Mass...
  • When I arrived, 1 of them was actually stopped and pecking in the middle of the parking lot as I drove in and she did not even look up as I swerved around her to get to my parking space.
  • 5 were stopped in the middle of the trail pecking their phones.
  • 1 was even pecking at 2 different phones she held in her left hand.
  • 2 were about 5 feet from each other and were facing each other as they pecked away.
  • Later, as I came back around the trail, I saw these 2 Text Talkers again. This time they were off the trail under a tree and they had increased their distance to about 15 feet. I guess they were testing out their Long Distance Communication Skills.

Regarding the comment I made in the second paragraph above about my fellow parishioners pecking at their cell phones in the last row in my church. I believe these peckers are in great danger of going to hell. They are actually threatening to cut their monthly donation to the church if the pastor does not make the last row larger. Personally I think the pastor should accede to their demand. It just does not look right to see all these “worshipers” sitting on each other’s laps.

Would I kid u?

Leave it to Alex to put the word "Peckers" in the proper context without being offensive but at the same time conveying the danger of one going to hell for being a "Pecker"

Good one Fella, sheer brilliance.

Alex is a Saints fan tried and true. My sense is he deliberately misspelled the name of his arch rival team located further north!
