WARNING! DANGER WILL ROBINSON!!!
I got a new cell phone the other day.
I don't know why, but I still like to read the instruction book. Even though I know perfectly well how to dial a call, and that leaving the keypad lit longer than 15 seconds will diminish the battery, and that the FCC is pretty sure that holding the phone against my head will not give me head cancer, I still want to read what they have to say.
So I read the book, just in case the FCC has changed their position. I read the safety precautions, because I want to be safe. I want to know that They will guarantee my safety while talking on my cell phone so that I will not have to sue them.
And sometimes....just sometimes....I get something like this:
"Never place your phone in a microwave oven as it will cause the battery to explode."
Let me repeat that, because I thought it was the funniest thing I have read in years:
"Never place your phone in a microwave oven as it will cause the battery to explode."
Ok,
No....wait.
OK, I have three points to make here:
#1) This was NUMBER TWO on a WARNINGS list that has 25 items! Twenty five items! And the second thing they need to tell me is DONT microwave your phone!
#2) Who the f**K would decide to microwave their phone?!?!?!?!?!?
and #3) Did someone actually microwave their phone and sue??? WHY THE HELL!.....oh, see #2
So, I have learned not to microwave my phone. Which is good. But right now I have a laptop computer that I am trying to squeeze in for one minute on high. And if that fails, I'll just go back to the peeps. Microwaving peeps is some good entertainment.
