Savannah, GA – Gregg Jeffers, wowed his friends, Saturday, with a night-long string of jokes about old cell phones, which, as he pointed out, used to be bigger and different. The group of friends and work collegues gather’s at Sarah’s Bar and Grill for the birthday party of Clearview’s Lisa Vogal, but witnesses say early in the evening Jeffers took center stage.

“I was like, who is this guy,” said one attendee, who asked to remain anonymous. “I got a text message and he was like, ‘whoa, you’re blowing up over there.” Later, when another guest also received a text, Jeffers accused the two of sending messages to each other, despite their sitting in adjacent seats at the table. “What, are you two the technology twins?” Jeffers allegedly, asked. He then mimicked the act of typing with his thumbs, dictating as he did, “If we send each other texts, we don’t have to talk to each other.” After pausing to laugh boisterously, Jeffers added, “Yeah, check out the cute guy,” then motioned to himself.
“I just took out my cell phone to check the time,” said Laura Gilbert of Carver Heights. “This guy I’d never even met before grabbed it and was, like, “Look at the size of this thing. Did you get this on Craig’s List from Zach Morris? I was like, ‘what are you talking about,’ and he sort of faked pulling out a really long antenna on it and pretended it was a walkie-talkie. He said he was calling in an air strike and he pretended to crank a little wheel on the back like that’s how you charged it.” According to witnesses, Gilbert’s Samsung M240 is a modestly-sized flip phone which doesn’t even have an antenna. “He pretended it had a rotary dial, and we were like, ‘what are you doing?’ He was like, ‘Clondike 129, this is the operator. Will you accept a person-to-person call?’” reported Jim Weller of Savannah
Witnesses reported that as Vogal began to open her gift from Jeffers, he shouted, “I got you a new cell phone” from across the table. “I thought that was kind of weird ‘cause he knows I love my Blackberry. I just got it a couple months ago,” said Vogal.
After all the gifts had been opened, Jeffers embraced Vogal and asked, “How do you like the new cell phone?” Vogal reportedly smiled and told him she did like it and that it was a funny joke. He then proceeded to tell the group about what cell phones were like in the 1980s. “They were bigger. I mean, that’s pretty much just what he said,” reported Gilbert. “Okay, we get it. Funny guy.”
