New! From Ronchko, the Whattaya MeanterTM. This high-tech electronic device will enable you to discern, whatever your IQ, just "what they meant by that." This useful tool can be used in person, while watching TV, or to read email and posts. Just point the compact device - no bigger than a Cricket phone - at the speaker or article, press the button, and instantly the screen will light up with a face indicating if the article or speaker was trying to be mean or insulting! (Warning: Do not use on this advertisement or damaging feedback may occur.)

LOL. This is a must have! Nice handy size to fit in my purse.
Hee hee. Glad you liked it.
rofl! Another useful invention.
What a fun prompt!
You know, I thought I couldn't come up with anything, and this silly thing popped into my head.
how cool!!! LOL, What a creative invention!!! Now, if only you could really have one of these, it would help a lot of people!!!!
I think I'd like to pass them out to every person on Gather. It would sure save a lot of trouble. :)
I love the warning about 'damaging feedback', barbara....it might blow up if pointed at a politician?
Bwah-hahahaha! I was waiting for someone to notice that. Snork.
As for the politician, it could be dangerous for all involved!
Or, one could take it as a dig to people who don't like feedback.
I would SO buy this!!
LOL! But Tracy, I doubt you'd need it! :)
How very funny! I've had an ambiguous phrase or two ruin my mood in the past. I wish i had this then. Maybe if I had a time machine to go with it, I could go back and give myself one of these.
Heh. I know what you mean. And who wouldn't want a time machine? Go back and put money in the meter, look more carefully at that stop sign, don't buy that car -- it would be great.
I think combined with my new WYTIWYG interface, we might break new ground in eliminating human misunderstandings...
On the other hand, what fun would that be?
Hee hee. This exercise begs for one more device. What would you call something that can reach through the phone lines and slap someone? Giggle.
Just don't use it on my posts...the double entendre's will make it smoke.
Hey, your posts are already smokin'! Hee hee. I'm on a roll today. Crescent, I think. Or maybe sesame.
I love this!
Hee hee. Thanks, Liz. :)
Just think this is great Barb, sure it will be a great success here on Gather.
Hee hee. Thanks :)
Perfect invention! Great description :)
Thank you, Susan B. Hmmm .... your last name wouldn't be Anthony, would it? Sorry, just kidding. In a goofy mood this morning. (sleep does that to me)
No - it's even worse - Barton. So I get a lot of "Sue Barton, Student Nurse" kinds of jokes.
Ohhhh :( My sympathies. My name is Barbara Anne, so you can guess what I got. Half sung the song, the other asked where's Ken?
