One day I went to a restaurant called Subway for lunch. I had been to this particular Subway several times before, but this time something was different--I actually had to wait in line.
I have no idea how this strange occurrence came to be. I walked in the door and was unpleasantly surprised with the sight of a mob of five people waiting in queue.
This phenomenon seems to make no logical sense. I came at the exact same time at which I had come countless times before (approximately one and one half hours past noon) and upon most every visit I had made to this establishment at this time, I had not had to wait in any sort of line, and the handful of times I had to wait involved a maximum of one person and a wait time of no longer than a single minute. Today, I had to wait more than 10 minutes.
What could have caused this catastrophe? Perhaps Subway had been fortifying their advertising campaign. Or maybe Subway had come into possession of some sort of powerful people-magnet. Of course the possibility of pure coincidence does exist, but it does in this case seem most improbable.
Fortunately, I think God wanted me to get my sandwhich quickly; The man directly in front of me began talking on his portable telephone (in a rather unnecessarily loud voice) and continued to do so when it was his turn to order, so he let me go ahead of him. It was a nice gesture, but it seemed a little odd the way he dropped "you can go ahead" directly in the middle of a sentence without changing the tone, speed, or volume of his voice.
As I was eating my meal, I was saddened as the man's daughter came in from outside after he had finished his phone conversation; she asked him why he hadn't gotten their meal yet, to which he replied that he had been on the phone. It looked to me that this man had placed talking on the phone above feeding his hungry daughter.
Conclusion: Cell phones are bad and they kill people.
