    Sticking your finger in your ear and talking into your wrist makes you look cool? I guess if you never want to get laid again, it might.

    Maybe they could figure out a way to put the mouthpiece on a pinky wring. Then you could stick your thumb in your ear and extend your pinky to use the phone. You'd still look dorky as hell, but at least people would know what you were doing.

    Yeah, I want to be sticking my finger in my ear all day. Even more, I want to be shaking hands with people who've had their fingers in their ears all day.

    I'll pass.
