At some point during my activities, I accidently hit the button on my blackberry that activates my "favs" and, wouldn't you know, up and dialed the beautiful and witty Mrs. FAX who listened for some minutes to me as I held a private conversation with myself that included a plethora of highly profane statements directed at my drill and some carefully chosen insults intended for a dozen or so heavy boxes. The poor girl had no idea I cursed so forcefully and eloquently at inanimate objects and the like. Anyhow, she called me back later, told me what happened, and said she had considered calling the police because it sounded as though I was in the midst of a brawl with some evil intruder and, in my panic, dialed her number instead of 911.
I can't decide if I was in the wrong or if the beautiful and witty Mrs. FAX should have hung up when she realized what was happening. I feel like I've been violated. I don't know whether to take away her phone as punishment, send her some flowers, or call a marriage counselor. This could happen to anybody, right?

I feel your pain, FAX. I got a new mobile phone a few weeks ago and my wife has a habit of asking me an inordinate amount of family questions when I travel. She called me about ten times one day when I was on the road about some of the most basic sh*t, and I finally said, "Honey, can we discuss these when I get home tomorrow?" She said, "Okay." And we hung up. Unfortunately, I did not hit the "End" button as I thought I did.
