Okay, y’know how stories come along that you know you’re not supposed to laugh at, but you can’t help it, because it’s so patently stupid. You know the ones, when part of you’s thinking ‘this is so wrong, I shouldn’t laugh at this’, but the rest of you is crying with laughter.
Yes, these are the stories I keep my eye out for, secretly hoping one of them features mobile phones, so I can blog about it…
Well, now we have one that does have mobile phones in it, thanks to The Boston Channel, and it’s a doozy. Picture the scene: a woman loses her mobile phone, and decides she needs to find it. Fair enough. But it’s dark, and she needs to see, so what does she do?
Find a torch? Or, even simpler, switch the light on at the wall? No. Use a ciggy lighter to light the room up, and set fire to the bed, setting fire to not one, but two buildings in the ensuing blaze. Wow. Given that she set her bed alight, one must assume she was in her bedroom, which begs the question of why she didn’t have a big light in there.
Maybe she lived in a cupboard, or near the bins?
So, next choice, torch; traditionally reckoned to be safer than naked flames on bedding, when searching for mobile phones. Or, final option, if no big light or torch present themselves, wait till the sun comes up, then look. I mean, come on, I know I like the Sony Ericsson C905, but I’d probably stop short of burning my face off to find it. So, lost mobile phone, two buildings burnt down. No-one was hurt, obviously, or I wouldn’t be laughing at it, but you have to laugh at the daftness some people display.
Oh, and in case you’re wondering, there was no word on whether the mobile phone survived, thus rendering the woman’s efforts to find it ultimately futile!
Ha!
You wouldn’t run into a burning building to save it, but it’s still an awesome mobile phone. Grab yourself the Sony Ericsson C905 today!
