    Objects on sign are closer than they appear.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Hello.

    I went to an Ikea with a girlfriend to buy a computer desk.
    There was this VoIP phone, it was just sitting there.
    I look at the computer, phone, computer, phone, computer, phone, call corporate headquarters in whatever European country and hand the phone to an employee, but not before asking for a corporate rep.
    Scurry off and find the restaurant.
    http://www.ikea.com/ms/en_US/IKEA_Food/restaurant.html
    Find another IP phone, call the pentagon switchboard, ask for the head warmonger in charge, they hang up.
    Look at the lady who is all but in shock that I would simply pick up a phone and chat, explaining that the phones are unable to dial out.
    She takes my order and explains that is will be a few moments.
    I spy a freight elevator and jump on that thing, off to the warehouse section.
    By this time security is on my trail.
    Hit the passenger elevator and back to the restaurant, food is ready.
    Get a call, female bag of mostly water has decided on a purchase and will be ready in a few minutes.
    I consume my portion of food provided and find carbon unit.
    We depart, but not before I tune my talkie to Ikea comm.
    This is the classic Motorola bubble pack business radio, x a dozen or so.
    I hear that "He is now with some woman".
    I had been listening to the talkies in the store but was not able to get a good count of the frequency until just before leaving.
    License free.
    So I key up and thank everyone for the quick tour and the food is good.
    Loss prevention is totally freaked by now. ;)
    At least it was not six flags!
