We were taking a walk and I did the walkie-talkie bit, with proper attribution, complete with talking to the general like I was so happy to be a walkie and talkie, asking are you a walkie-talkie too, as if my imbecelic communication skills matched my labeling of the intra-personal, non-teathered communication-device designed for the soldier on the go.
