While I was traveling to Detroit for business we had a new phone system installed at the office. This is a very slick system, soft dialing, queues, etc...What I didn't know was another plan was unfolding around the phone system.

There was a phone box on my desk and a few of my co-workers/culprits (John Balod, Deryl Dorsett) kept asking me about my new "wireless" phone so we made it back to my office and I opened the box to find a new "phone system" alright. The system consists of two Green Giant cans of corn connected by a long string complete with hand drawn instruction manual and a "long distance" add-on.... extra long pieces of string.

This was pretty funny, but it actually works as well! I may keep my new phone system vs. the high-tech system that everyone else is deploying :)
