Ask Shawn 4.1

Dear Roberta,

Sorry, I forgot about your p.s's. As far as the iPhone goes, extensive scientific research has gone into studying the buzz around the iPhone. The numerous studies have revealed that most 20-somethings have little or no desire to buy the iPhone, in fact most surveyed would rather have had their faces scraped with an industrial-sized cheese grader. Case in point is that over the weekend that the iPhone was released, there were only 500,000 of the iPhones sold. Very unimpressive if you ask me. So I wouldn't recommend you getting one, unless you want to join those few lost souls who got one over the weekend.

And as far as the kitchen thing goes... ma'am, you need to relax. Not everyone is a male chauvinist. Maybe you could relax by going and baking an apple pie or something. Just a thought.
