THREE WOMEN...ONE GERMAN, ONE JAPANESE AND A HILLBILLY - WERE SITTING NAKED
IN A SAUNA. SUDDENLY THERE WAS A BEEPING SOUND. THE GERMAN WOMAN
PRESSED HER FOREARM AND THE BEEP STOPPED. THE OTHERS LOOKED AT HER
QUESTIONINGLY. "THAT WAS MY PAGER," SHE SAID. "I HAVE A MICROCHIP UNDER THE
SKIN OF MY ARM."
A FEW MINUTES LATER, A PHONE RANG. THE JAPANESE WOMAN LIFTED HER PALM TO HER
EAR. WHEN SHE FINISHED, SHE EXPLAINED, "THAT WAS MY MOBILE PHONE.
I HAVE A MICROCHIP IN MY HAND."
THE HILLBILLY WOMAN FELT DECIDEDLY LOW TECH. NOT TO BE OUTDONE, SHE DECIDED
SHE HAD TO DO SOMETHING JUST AS IMPRESSIVE. SHE STEPPED OUT OF THE SAUNA AND
WENT TO THE BATHROOM, SHE RETURNED WITH A PIECE OF TOILET PAPER HANGING
FROM HER BEHIND.
THE OTHERS RAISED THEIR EYEBROWS AND STARED AT HER. THE HILLBILLY WOMAN
LOOKED AT HER BOTTOM IN SURPRISE AND SAID, "WELL, WILL YOU LOOK AT THAT,
I'M GETTIN' A FAX."
