The Left and Right paddles were playing a game as they usually did, when the right got a text on his phone. He missed the point while checking the screen. "Can you pause?" he asked.
"No - keep playing" was the terse reply.
They continued playing the game, but several times Right lost a point when he checked to see who else was texting. Finally, he lost the game point answering his phone to find a telemarketer on the other end selling car warranties.
Lesson: Some things shouldn't be done at the same time - like sneezing while you're urinating.
