        Nice! I don’t know where I first saw it, maybe on a New Yorker cover, but the image came to me so I googled Norman Rockwell self portrait and found it.

    It was a pain in the ass to sext when you didn’t have a roll of quarters handy.

      That will be $86.17 on a 3 year contract for 5 selfies a month. Overages are $25/selfie. No long-distance. Nights and weekend selfies are one (1) at no charge per week (rolling 7 days).

      inhales

      Conditions apply service not available everywhere though we will still charge you regardless visit your local store for a copy of T&C.

    I admit that I had to stare at that pic for a second longer than should have been necessary.
