Apr 09All Pain, No Gain

Unlike just about all of his friends, family, and coworkers, Jack doesn’t have a fancy cell phone. No streaming video, no Bluetooth, and certainly no “apps”. Heck, it doesn’t even have a camera. It’s just a plain old phone with plain old service that can only dial and receive plain old calls. And it’s exactly the type of phone that Jack wants.
