A New Direction

A telephone rings in an upscale Southern Californian home...


"Hello?"


"Hello, Steve Wozniak."


"iSplotchy! How's it going, my man?"


"I am a mountain in Colorado. I am lonely."


"Ah, I'm sorry to hear that, man. The campaign isn't going well?"


"My fool-proof plans fell through. I was unable to lure the monkey's running mate with my mountainness."


"Have you talked to the Jobsinator?"


"I have not talked to Steve. He is mad at me for almost exploding him. He also will not like that I am calling you without using AT&T's phone service."


"Are you phone phreaking, Splotch?!"


"Yes, Woz. It is the only thing that makes me happy."


"Splotch, man, you ol' dog! Man, get your peak out of the clouds. You're the iSplotchy! You're smarter than that!"


"Yes. I am the best possible candidate for the 2008 election. There is no doubt of that."


"You need to think laterally, man. You have strengths. You have technology. Use it!"


"Yes, Woz. You are correct. You have given hope to this sentient piece of sexy technology. Thank you."


"Bye, Splotch. I'll tell Kathy you said hi."


"Thanks, Woz."
