Because your mind is somewhere else. I mean that in an almost literal way. When you're talking on a cell phone your mind isn't in the car -- it's with the person on the other end of the conversation. When you're holding a drink and talking to your buddy in the back seat your mind is still in the car. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
