When a customer left his cell phone in my store, I scrolled through his saved numbers, stopped at "Mom" and pushed send. His mother answered, and I told her what happened. "Don't worry," she said, "I'll take care of it." A few minutes later, the cell phone rang. It was "Mom." "Martin," she said, "you left your cell phone at the convenience store."

Oh this is funny KrauseHome but more so because it would probably happen more often than most people would think. A couple of years ago a friend left his phone in antoher town where his wife was studying at the time. She noticed it after he had left for their home and then giving him enough time to get home phoned his mobile # to tell him that he had left it behind and would be please call her. She made several calls to him during the day and each message was the same. Then when she finally talked to him on their landland that night, she was rather upset thinking that he had been ignoring her all day. LOL Thanks for sharing this one with us KrauseHome.

Well, I am sure there are many like this, but I know I make sure first before leaving any messages for my husband on his phone, that I know where it is. And if he is at work, and forgets his phone, there are other ways that I can reach him which is Good in case I really need to talk with him.

I personally, have never understood what the Big deal over Text messaging does? It is expensive and I prefer the more personal touch of talking one on one with someone if I can.

Brilliant, I just love that story. It is amazing what outrageously silly things we can all do at times, and of course this is a perfect example. Since you had his phone you could have looked up the number in the settings and rang him yourself.

But then this would not hhave been something to Stop and make us think now would it? How many of us would do something like this, or would we Stop and think and take time to find out where they really are, to let them know we have their phone?

Hahahhahaha. Thats funny. Shame the poor mom. But on amore serious not, we have a huge problem with cell phone theft in South Africa these days. Some cell phone companies now sell you a tracking service for when your phone gets stolen. Apparently, you can remove the SIM card, the tracker is built into the phone it self. So when the "new owner" phones with his new SIM card, the nerwork cancels the call and contract or pre-pay. That way that specific phone cannot ever be used again.

Teacher: "Sam, what is the outside of a tree called?" Sam: "I don’t know." Teacher: "Bark, Sam, bark." Sam: "Bow, wow, wow!" ------------------------ The teacher came up with a good problem. "Suppose," she asked the second-graders, "there were a dozen sheep and six of them jumped over a fence. How many would be left?" "None," answered little Norman. "None? Norman, you don't know your arithmetic." "Teacher, you don't know your sheep. When one goes, they all go!" ----------------------------- Teacher: If I give you two rabbits and two rabbits and another two rabbits, how many rabbits have you got? Paddy: Seven! Teacher: No, listen carefully again. If I give you two rabbits and two rabbits and another two rabbits, how many rabbits have you got? Paddy: Seven! Teacher: Let's try this another way. If I give you two apples and two apples and another two apples, how many apples have you got? Paddy: Six. Teacher: Good. Now if I give you two rabbits and two rabbits and another two rabbits, how many rabbits have you got? Paddy: Seven! Teacher: How on earth do you work out that three lots of two rabbits is seven? Paddy: I've already got one rabbit at home now!

Gifts One day The Lord spoke to Aadam. "I've got some good news and some bad news," The Lord said. Aadam looked at The Lord and replied, "Well, give me the good news first." Smiling, The Lord explained, "I've got two new oragans for you, one is called a brain. It will allow you to create new things, solve problems, and have intelligent conversations with Eave. oamThe other organ I have for you is called a paenis. It will give you great physical pleasure and allow you to reproduce your now intelligent life form and 2007 populate this planet. Eve will be very happy that you now have this organ to feb give her children." Adam, very excited, exclaimed, "These are great gifts you have given to me. What could possibly be bad news after such great tidings?" The Lord looked upon hum Adam and said with great sorrow, "You will never be able to use these two gifts at the same time." ** Small Compensation A drunk in a bar pukes all over his own 005 shirt, which was brand new before he came in. “Damn,” he says. “I puked on 22 my shirt again. If the wife 21 finds out, she’s gonna kill me.” “Not to worry,” says the ba07 rtender as he sticks a $20 bill in the drunk’s pocket. “Just tell her someone puked on you and gave you some cash to cover the cleaning bill.” So the drunk goes home and tells his ok wife feb jan about the guy who puked on him. She reaches into his pocket and finds tjawo twenties. “Why are there two twenties?” she asks. The drunk replies, “Oh, yea nh, he crapped in my pants, too.”

This was so funny. You really can see things like this happening in real life. Some people just don't have a grasp on technology.
