Must. Resist. Urge. For. Reggae. Joke...
Ron gets a no-prize that'll only work in certain areas for bringing us this tale of revenge against the gizmo we all love to hate, as long as someone else is using it. The article opens with this priceless bon-mot:
It was the reporters who noticed first. Unable to call their editors while covering the weddings of the rich and famous, they asked the priest why their cell phones never worked at Sacred Heart. His reply: Israeli counterintelligence.
and if they weren't $2000, I'd buy one and mess with folks on the beltway. someone cuts me off while driving and they happen to be on their cell - I flip the switch and oops, there goes their call...

Now what you really need for the beltway is an EM Pulse gun. Now that's how to handle all the type A personalities on the beltway. A modern car has what about 3 to 5k worth of electronics on board? I wonder how much they would have to replace before they figured out that they should merge back when the sign says it and not run to the end of then lane like a bunch of brain dead morons!!!!
....Sorry post traumatic stress from my last Herndon commute in March.

Posted by: Ron on October 19, 2004 10:58 PMThis sort if thing is damn annoying. I usually keep my phone on at all times, because my best friend sometimes calls in times of emergency. By being reachable, I can pick her up when her car breaks down, or she needs a ride home from the police station. The last time I left it off, I missed her calling from the ER. (and yes, on the rare occasions it rings in movie theatres it is on vibrate, and I leave to have my conversation if I even answer)
