Forget Cyrano

Remember the 17th Century Parisian dramatist Cyrano de Bergerac? He loves the beautiful Roxane, but Roxane loves the handsome Christian de Neuvillette because, unfortunatley, Cyrano's nose is too big! But Cyrano can communicate so well, that Christian uses him to woo Roxane...or so the 19th Century French poet Edmond Rostand wrote in his play about Cyrano.

Truth be told, Cyrano was a gay science fiction writer with a small nose.

Be that as it may, and in the spirit of the play, I want to point out that there is now a modern, more automated, system you can use and you have your choice of David, William, Frank, or Lawrence.

Phone Trick

Although you'll have to compose your own message (unless you have a friend as gifted as the legendary Cyrano) someone else will deliver the goods.

Or, you could have Diane, Emily or Millie deliver the message.

There's even the opportunity for French, German, Spanish or Italian!

But here's a real nice trick for deaf and hard of hearing people that lets them place relay calls over the Internet between locations in the United States called "Sprint IP Relay."

Future thinker as he was, I'm sure Cyrano would be pleased.
