Mobile Cellular Phone

Mrs. Myrtle Standich was picked up by Mr. Walter Collier at fifteen minutes past four yesterday afternoon. Also present was Mrs. Ida Willaby. The intention was to meet Ms. Alison Tuttle at an eatery of her choosing. Her choice was Chez Cafe, a french cafe that Ms. Alison Tuttle had been to once several years ago. The directions were given in haste. This, Mrs. Ida Willaby assumed, was done in a purposefully messy fashion so that Ms. Alison Tuttle could use her new mobile cellular phone. The news had spread that Mr. Walter Collier had also acquired a mobile cellular phone as a gift from his eldest son, Mr. Thomas Collier. Ms. Alison Tuttle thought it was best for the party in Mr. Walter Collier's car to call if more accurate directions were needed.

This proved the case nearly fifteen minutes into the trip. Mr. Walter Collier handed his mobile cellular phone to Mrs. Myrtle Standich with the request to talk in his place as he had not yet mastered the duality of driving and talking on the phone. Specific directions were given to Mrs. Myrtle Standich on the use of a mobile cellular phone. Upon the passing of five minutes, the phone was handed to Mrs. Ida Willaby who had once used her granddaughter's phone. This proved a wise decision as Mrs. Ida Willaby not only located, but also telephoned Ms. Alison Tuttle in under five minutes time.

The phone call proved to be resourceful, though Mr. Walter Collier had been traveling in the right direction. Mrs. Ida Willaby stated the whereabouts of the car, "On Derringer Road," with the added addition that the car was passing Thorndale Boulevard. Said Ms. Alison Tuttle, "Chez Cafe should be on the next block on your right." The genral opinion in the car was that these directions were said in order to defer an error in Ms. Alison Tuttle's directions. That is, if Chez Cafe had not been on the next block on the right, it would be through no fault of her own. It would, therefore, had to have been a phenomenon in either natural or municipal sense.

Though the directions proved to be right, the phrasing left Mr. Walter Collier, Mrs. Myrtle Standich, and Mrs. Ida Willaby amused throughout the meal. The meal itself was a most pleasant affair.
