“As I give you this certificate of competition, do you have anything to say?”

“What?  Are you saying I won?”

“And why would you think that?  You’re score placed you dead last”

“Right, but I still get a trophy?  You know, for giving it my best shot.”

“Don’t be silly.  Trophies are for winners.  You get a piece of paper with your name misspelled on it.”

How could you abandon us in our need?

Every day we screamed your name and begged for deliverance.

And yet you did not answer our pleas for help and mercy.

Reality is you were never listening in the first place.

Perhaps the most antiquated name for such a modern device

Here is a pocket supercomputer

Or a way to send text messages around the globe in a blink of an eye

No one thinks its primary function is to hold a voice conversation anymore

Everyone keeps it on silent and never answers anyway
