Can’t escape iPhone 5 rumors: Humorist David Sedaris weighs in

I gobble up iPhone 5 rumors throughout the week at work, but I figured going with my wife to see humorist and NPR favorite David Sedaris at Boston’s Symphony Hall might be a respite from it all. Wrong.

Sedaris, twirling a tale about his penchant for hanging onto gadgets such as his walkman or discman for too long, wrapped up by explaining why he was satisified with his iPods for now and was holding out for the next iPhone, which he anticipates will be a combination smartphone and taser.

“Then I can carry one less thing,” he said.

Sedaris wasn’t done riffing about the Apple smartphone, though. During a story about how his persistent dad keeps urging David to get a colonoscopy, Sedaris said his dad at one point said all he wanted for Christmas was for his son to get a colonoscopy…but then called back to say “or an iPhone.”

While Sedaris and his dad might not have iPhones, you can listen to Sedaris do his thing via various smartphone apps.
