Well, it's at least fast.

And even faster on the way out.

In the case of Taco Bell, you can reduce by not ever going there at all.

Wouldn't that depend on the continent in question? Maybe even nation!

Actually not a problem here, Sweden is supplying half of Europe with tp. The other half is taken care of by Finland mostly.

I have this requirement in which I need to communicate with a mobile phone user via his SMS. I do not have the capability to use a mobile phone (at least sometimes) and this other user does not have the capability to use E-mail (at least sometimes). So I need the capability to send an SMS from my PC (which could be E-mail, as I have that capability all the time) that the other user will get as an SMS, and then he can reply to that, and it comes back to me somehow.
I suppose that me having a virtual phone would work, but I think I saw someone wanting $30/month for this, which sounds beyond outrageous. I am not against paying a little, but of course, nothing beats the price of free.

The client with the mobile phone may be able to set up an email address to forward to his phone, provided by his carrier.
A quick google of email sms free returned 1.2 million hits, so there should be something there, including How to Send a Text From Your Email Account | Digital Trends

it's possible to connect a phone to a PC as [a GSM modem] and use AT commands to send and read messages
...or there are some API's that make it a lot less painful.
means need only plug a phone into he PC and off you go.
... or perhaps a cheap/older phone and a prepaid sim that charges based on per message / per call (ideally with longest possible credit expiry).
I did something like that many years ago for a vehicle tracking app.
had units for the vehicles that sent GPS co-ords via SMS periodically or whenever it started/stopped moving then plugged a Nokia dumb phone into a PC to receive the messages.
... in case you ask sorry but I've not got any of the source anymore, lost >10 years and 2 countries ago
- also was back in XP days so likely more painful to adapt than write from scratch.

If you know the phone company for the phone, you can use email. For example, Verizon is number@vtext.com.

If you google "web sms service" (optionally add "free") you will see a long list of services to choose from ... if they are available in your area.
You say nothing about the SMS volume you will be generating. Some of the free services put a celing on the number of message per month; that may be limiting to you. Generally, the free services are one-way: The web interface will not allow the mobile phone user to return an SMS reply to your PC. (Well, maybe some services do provide that option - if you need it, make sure that is is offered.)

Is it bad that the only prize I ever want to win is an Ig Nobel?
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

No, it is a great attitude!
Remember that although the idea of IgNobel is to present science and research that initially make you smile/laugh, it should also make you think, in the direction of "maybe there is something to it..." (that is not from any official declaration, but my understanding of it). "Research" that is nothing but a joke will never make it to IgNobel.
This DKE-19-paper is certainly in the style of IgNobel!

DK effect is:
1. a tendency (cognitive bias) of those with less knowledge of a domain to over-estimate their knowledge.
2. a tendency of those with more knowledge of a domain to under-estimate their knowledge, based on an assumption that others have as much knowledge as they do.
