IN THE AGE OF THE CELL PHONE

Leaving Miami for Ft Lauderdale, I decide to stop at one of those rest areas on the side of the road. I go into the bathroom. The first stall is taken, so I go into the second stall. I had just sat down when I hear a voice from the other stall............
"Hi there, how is it going?"
Okay, I am not the type to strike up conversations with strangers in washrooms on the side of the road. I didn't know what to say, so finally I say:
"Not bad............"
Then the voice says:
"So, what are you doing?"
I am starting to find this a bit weird, but I say:
"Well, I'm going to Ft Lauderdale.........."
Then I hear the person, all flustered, say:
"Look, I'll call you back. Every time I ask you a question, this idiot in the next stall keeps answering me!!!"
