Conversation in the Doctors waiting room

 Set the Scene:  

Large Waiting area  - I sit in the center chair of a 5 chair row - , older man to my left,  black guy to my right both seated in the end seats.  Across from us is a near 80 couple - thats what they said later in the convo.. the man  is sketching  on a pad a remarkable likeness of the bearded guy sitting a row behind us. Obviously an artist of some sort.....  The lady is reading a magazine like thing that you might pick up at a tourist stop - with local ads and maybe a story or two about the area...  she puts that back in the large purse she is carrying and picks up her Cell phone : let the Games Begin....

The guy to my left says to the lady : "used to be you had to read to get any information,, and now that - he points to the phone - is the replacement.... she agrees, and they including the guy sketching - launch into a conversation about how great is was growing up in the time that they did, and that they had dinner together, and went to church on Sunday... and how awful it is today that "these KIDS" just use their phones for everything , and how texting is taking over the world....

Then the guy next to me says  " you know they are giving 4 new phones to all these illegal  immigrants that are coming to the country "  - "And these Illegals are using them to hack into our bank accounts and sending all our money to China ! " - yup !  6 million people  got of 'em last week ! 

The drawing guys says  - "4 phones to every person "? YUP   - then  drawing guy says - 4 new phones - Isn't that the  Sprint deal if you signed up for a year or two ? ! .....  and who is paying for the Phones ??  -  The guy next to me says - humm   gotta be China !  and Drawing guy says - and what network is providing all that internet access  ??? Verizon  ? Sprint ??  ...............  hummmm  I dunno says next to me guy.  - maybe that comes with the phone ?!?!?
