WHY IS HER PHONE IN A BIOHAZARD BAG? spankieclark March 9 2009, 12:00:47 UTC
WELL NOW I KNOW, AND I ALWAYS THOUGHT IT WAS BECAUSE, CELL PHONES ARE JUST DANGEROUS. I NOW KNOW WHY I'VE DONE SO WELL WITHOUT ONE FOR SO LONG.
(YOU KNOW THE PAY TO PLAY PHONE I GOT LAST YEAR? I STILL HAVE MINUTES FROM THE FIRST CARD I BOUGHT.)

You can't say you're without one since you have one.

And I knew you'd like that. Ahhh good times. I still remember moments from that day. Like when you tried to wreck my car. And then broke my cancer awareness bracelet. Fun times.

OK, I'VE APOLOGIZED FOR THE BRACELET, I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY TIMES, BUT ONCE AGAIN "I'M SORRY I BEHAVED LIKE A VERY BAD CHILD AND BROKE YOUR LIVESTRONG CANCER AWARENESS BRACELET." I REFUSE TO APOLOGIZE FOR ALMOST WRECKING YOUR CAR, BECAUSE I DIDN'T EVEN COME CLOSE TO WRECKING YOUR CAR. YOU HAVE TO ADMIT I WAS DISCRACTED BY THE YOUNG GOAT IN THE CAR WITH A HEAD INJURY. (IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, YOU HAD A SEVERE CONCUSSION)

AS FOR HAVING A CELL PHONE I NEVER USE IT, SINCE THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO KNOW I HAVE IT ARE FAMILY, (YOU, THE ASS, POPS, AND THE SPEED WITCHER).

One wonders why you would let the ass know...

Awww I'm family. That's actually nice. Although I really don't want to be related to the ass. Or the speed bitcher.

The phone thing makes sense. Even worse than knowing the critters that are on it? Imagine that the doctors/nurses see patients, then wash their hands, then pick up the cell phone that they used BEFORE they washed their hands, then they go see another patient.

The last patient of the day is probably being exposed to all the others that have been seen by the doctor/nurses. Ick.

Well I've been in a number of health institutions recently and in each one, the doctor/health practitioner made a point to clean his/her hands right as they walked into the room and asked me what was going on. And I thought that cell phones weren't allowed on in health institutions anyway - don't they mess up electronic instruments or something?

Well, the instructions outside of medical facilities generally say "Please turn off your cell phone", but I've seen doctors/nurses using them in hospitals. Apparently cell phones belonging to the general public are the only ones that cause problems.

Either that or the technology has improved in the past few years so that there's minimal interference with their equipment.

I've seen some doctors who don't wash their hands upon coming into the room. Those appointments are generally hands-off, though. If they do have a reason for touching, then they (usually) wash their hands.

Wow, I've never seen a doc/health practitioner use a cell phone.
