The Importance of Quote Marks
Read closely the second "A" in this Q and A regarding California's new driving-with-cellphone regulations and you'll find: Motorists 18 and over may use a "hands-free device."
Notice how "hands-free device" is in quotes. That means it's a joke! We're all off the hook! Of course we don't really have to use a hands-free device while talking and driving. The state is just having a josh with us. Good one, California!
Yeah, sure, I'll get right on that "hands-free device" ... [pause as the tension builds] ... HAHAHAHAHA! Ah, man, that was funny. "Hands-free device" -- yeah right!
