I had to buy a new phone today due to an unfortunate turkey sandwich accident. No, for real, I dropped my phone in a turkey sandwich. How is it that one friend dropped her phone in a toilet while another washed her hub’s in the laundry and both still work YET I drop mine face down in mayo and it doesn’t work? I licked it thoroughly immediately thereafter but to avail. I hope that revelation doesn’t disturb the friend I was talking to since she might read about it.
Also, my laptop carked it twice this morning due to overheating. I suspect it’s faulty but I just taped a cookie cooling rack to the bottom. et voila.
All hail Mercury! I am just hoping my brakes don’t go out. I live at the top of a hill.
**update** don’t carry your phone in your pants pocket or if you do, while taking out the trash, don’t be screeching the soprano part of the hallelujah chorus when you’re an alto. sometimes you accidentally dial someone… and they can hear. thank maude it was my sister. whew.

I dunno why, perhaps i’m rather twisted, but the idea of you licking your cell phone definately makes me grin.
I was enjoying that image too.
The phone died of sheer happiness!
indeed… check your brake fluid!!
heh. died of pleasure, it did.
I busted mine open in a parking lot and it still worked…battery popped out and everything. What kind of phone was it? I have a Nokia.

wow! i learned a lot by reading that blog!
too funny.
my first nextel ate it by megan dunking it in the dog’s water bowl. my second nextel died by falling out of my tittie’s into the bathtub while giving megan a bath. megan and cell phones don’t mix.
i wish you had called me singing hallelujah. j.e.a.l.o.u.s.
somebody calls me all the time and thats what i hear, i keep saying, HELLO HELLO I CAN HEAR YOU! then i listen to you sing for a while, and hang up
KEYLOCK KEYLOCK KEYLOCK YOUR SET when you stick the #@$ing thing in your pockets. press the uppermost right button (sony ericsson) and asterisk.
i’m sure your phone is fine from dropping it on the turkey sandwhich. licking the damn thing is murder to it’s circuits. next time, turn it off, lick it, let it dry AND THEN turn it on.
ps – stop impersonating me when you call up your sister. i cant sing.
read email!
What other icky things do you put in your mouth? Do they work afterwards?
LOL…. i’m an alto too… one who can’t even sing… so i can imagine the embarassment. your phone doesn’t ‘flip’ closed???
One would think that, instead of dying while you were licking it, the antenna of the phone would pop out of its secret place.

my dad killed my mom’s cell phone by stopping short because he wasn’t paying attention and almost walking into a swiming pool. he then jumps into the stupid pool and drenches his wallet. he’s a scientist, you know.
there is this company made a cell that after you are done using it, you plant it, it biodegrades and turns into a sunflower. I am so all over those…
just had to share. MWAH
that last bit, about the singing, is perhaps the most beautiful thing i’ve heard all week.
maybe it was a vegetarian phone?
Odd… Very odd indeed….
my life is full of mishaps these days too. when will this be over?
I’ve heard people say “hold the phone”, just never as part of a sandwich order…
hahahaha! That just made me laugh! Too funny, girl!
OMG, that was too funny!
See, mayonnaise IS bad for you, or at least your phone!
LOL, on the auto-dial feature.
Hugs!
Next time hold the mayo! Hallelujah
