Timbits from Mark

Source: saunderslog.com

A couple of choice tidbits from Mark Goldberg. 

Cellular phones (and presumably cellular phone services) wer.  number 9 on the top 10 list of Consumer Complaints and Inquiries for 2005.  Cellular phone providers were in fine company, vying for the number one spot with bill collectors, fitness clubs, credit agencies, and car salesman. 

And, in Donuts Define Us, Mark defends calling Canadians a nation of donut-eaters.  Me personally.  I am a doughnut eater… large coffee with milk, and an old-fashioned, to go.
