If all else fails, Jack, turn off the ringer

Re: “Want some advice, Jack? Just put the phone down,” letter, April 20.

I am mystified when people don’t get Jack Knox’s columns … he is a humourist, and his columns often poke fun at a situation by taking it to the extreme.

I live in the Otter Point area, which will be getting the new cell service and I’m looking forward to that, even though I am not enamoured of cellphones in general. However, for emergency and safety reasons, I appreciate that this is a longoverdue and vital move.

I loved the laugh, Jack, and we will miss your escapes to the area … maybe just turn the ringer off?
