A Creative Use For Old Cell Phones

I heard a news report the other day that environmentalists are looking for ways to recycle the over-abundance of old cell phones that have been discarded for the latest and greatest in technology. I, as always, am here to help.

Many of us have come in to contact with those mentally troubled people on the street having conversations with themselves and with nobody in particular. They are often subjected to our scorn, fear and ridicule - "Hey, look at that nutty guy talking to the invisible rabbit!" Why should these people be discriminated against just because we can't see the object they are dialoging with? My solution - just give them an old cell phone! Now these dementia patients can fit right in with the rest of society. Instead of us thinking that they are insane, we'll just think that they are conducting a highly productive business deal with their stock broker named "Harvey".

Yes, discrimination against the mentally challenged cured with just a simple cell phone. My campaign can be called - Cell Phones for the Insane. That's making technology work for the greater good.

Brilliant! Sometimes I assume people with the hard to see ear pieces are crazy, 'cause it looks like they're talking to themselves.
It's hard to tell the sane from the insane apart these days.
