Two friends talk about cell phones.

A: Hey, look at my new cell phone.


B: Where'd you get it?


A: I got it at the mall. It was free with my new plan.


B: So what stuff can it do?


A: It has text messages, voice-mail, Internet and instant messenger too. I think you can even watch TV on it.


B: Cool. What about music? Can you use it like an mp3 player?


A: Umm... I think so. Let me look... Yeah, it has a USB card to hold the mp3s.

B: I think I may need to go get one too. How long of a contract do you have to sign?


A: Just a year, I think.


B: That's not too bad.

Two friends are in line at the post office and are losing their patience cause the line's moving slowly.


A: We've been waiting in line for like 20 minutes.


B: No, it's been like an hour.


A: No way. You always exaggerate. It does feel like way more than 20 minutes, though, cause the line's moving so slow. Probably cause there's only two people here.

B: I bet they have more than just two people here. They're probably just taking breaks or goofing off somewhere.


A: Finally, the line's starting to move.

B: Hey, I didn't know you get passports at the post office. I just saw a sign for it.


A: Yeah, I got mine here last year.


B: Cool. I still need to get mine. I haven't ever been out of the country, so I haven't needed one.


A: But you're going to Europe this summer, right?


B: Yeah, so I should probably get mine soon.


A: You should. It might take a while for them to send it too you.

B: Nope. What happened?

A: Let's see.... Angela got pregnant.

B: Really? Who's the father?

A: Robert.

B: Wow. So does everyone know or is it a secret?

A: The next episode starts in an hour. You wanna stay and watch it?

B: Of course I will. Thanks.

Jake, a dog, is sick and needs to go to the veterinarian (vet). One person holds him, while the other drives the car.

A: So when did Jake start throwing up?

B: He's been throwing up every day this week. Poor thing.

A: At first, I just thought he ate some bad food, but if he's been throwing up every day, he's probably sick.

B: Yeah, I think he might have worms.

A: Hopefully not.

B: Well, he needs to get his shots anyway.

A: Do you have insurance?

B: No, it's not worth it. I only come to the vet like twice a year.

A: Ah, ok. So which street do I turn on?


B: 5th. Thanks for driving, by the way. I have to hold Jake whenever he's in the car, or else he'll get scared.


A: No problem.

“E-mail Lingo”
Cody helps Elaine with her e-mail account.
Elaine: Just let me check my e-mail real quick.

Cody: Alright, no problem.

Elaine: Look. What's this mean?

Cody: It says your inbox is full. So it won't let you receive any new e-mails.

Elaine: Then I need to delete some messages to make room.

Cody: Yeah. Why don't you delete everything in your junk mail folder first.
Elaine: It should be fine now. I deleted a few e-mails with really big attachments that were taking up a lot of space.
