The Future has arrived

Oh man, I did that with a Startac cell phone last year!

....cue the harp sound...

...That day my wife had complained of a strange sound coming from the van...
( She often used to recommend that I check "the spark plug"...anytime there
was a noise in her car. )
I normally would find a husbandly way of dismissing these things, but this
time I decided to take it straight to the car dealer.
Perhaps, this would gain me some points in the ongoing husband/wife point
system.

While at the dealer, she called to say she might have left a pot on the
stove.
No problem, I was on the way back home by way of the courtesy car, while
they worked on my van.  More points.

As I waived to the departing driver...I realized that my house keys were
attached to the car keys back at the dealer.
House was locked.  I looked through the back windows, and sure enough, the
kitchen was billowing smoke from a pot on the stove.
I managed to break in through the garage window, got upstairs, and luckily
there was only smoke, not a fire yet.
Took the offending pot outside, hosed it down, and opened all the house
windows.

Having drank most of the car dealer's coffee, I decided to visit the
restroom.....
The next two sounds were a sigh of relief...and 'bloop!'....my Startac
taking a dive into the toilet.
Well, there was a third sound too, as I exclaimed...."%&*!@#"

Five minutes later, the dealer called to say that there was nothing wrong
with the van, but they couldn't reach me on cell phone.
At that point, I thought I would just cancel any appointments for the day,
and avoid all sharp objects for at least 24 hours.

This time, I bought the insurance they offer, just in case something happens
to my phone. Hey, wanna buy an excellent iPAQ 5555 ???
Best regards,

  Brad,

  Just don't have it fall into the toilet, as my IPAQ did a couple of weeks
ago.  Makes for a difficult day, to say the least.

  Back-up, Back-up, Back-up!
