Oh yeah?
So, hell_on_heels (btw, are those 5.5, 6 or 7 inchers?
), you "had a Samsung that was dropped n 3 toilets, left n the rain for 2 weeks," huh? Wow!
Hmmm. That's...well, that's amazing. I have to hand you that.
But . . .
I once had a cell phone (my first, back in 1989), that was so primitive I had to set this hubcap on a track up high so it would roll down and into a vortex where it went around and around before dropping through a hole and falling down and hitting a pan which landed against and triggered a cuckoo clock, and when the cuckoo popped out, it pushed this little weight that fell on a lever that hit the bulb of a horn, which tilted a little platform so a hamster could run out and jump on a treadmill which spun a graduated set of gears that turned a bicycle wheel with little sprockets sticking out of it that arranged an old telephone dial to dial my Grandmother. . . .
. . Hello? Who's there?. . . .
And when she answered, it closed an electrical loop which pulled the trigger of a pop gun that hit a helium tank which inflated a balloon that expanded really big before it burst, scattering ping pong balls everywhere that naturally scared the dog sleeping on the kitchen linoleum causing him to run really fast in place, transmitting a vibration through the linoleum floor to the drainboard where it shook the egg that was balancing on a spoon and the egg would fall down and land right in the hole of a full roll of toilet paper activating a butterfly lever which flipped a switch that sent out two mechanical robot hands that dropped a bowl of Jell-O out a window and onto the back covered porch landing on one side of an old scale so the other side shot up knocking-over a broom handle that would fall sideways turning on the knob of a hot plate that a chicken was standing on causing it to fly off and onto a keyboard with a corn kernel on the letter Q and when the chicken pecked the Q key it sent an electrical current through the airwaves (one of the very first primitive OTA cellular radio signals) to a Jerry-rigged radio-controlled starter on an old antique generator at the foot of one of The Great Northwest's earliest cell tower Transmission Control Headquarters (commonly known as a: CTTCH), triggering a mostly simultaneous transmission of a walloping 1G AMPS signal. . .but it still came on so somehow it gave me a mostly pretty good signal for approx. 20-30 miles each side of the I-5 Corridor!
