Yesterday I would have bet at least $20 dollars that Tom Brown would have chimed in a unique cell phone ability by now.
I locked myself inside my car & used my cell phone to call someone to come & let me out.
who did you call? blondstar?
Cell phones are also good tracking devices. Just ask Lucky.
who did you call? blondstar?
LMAO
....and if you believe that I've got some Waterfront Property at Overton Beach for sale.....
...sorry, bad pun, but who buys into this $hit?
I've also heard that if you hit *, then #, then spell out "JACKASS" on your keypad and hit "send" you'll be tracked by Verizon and Sprint and get paid for every phone call....:jawdrop:
Some other things that I tried to get my cell to do........
1) Fishing lewer.........didnt work.
2) Street asphalt tester.......worked good, asphalt was harder than the phone.
3) Hider in "hide and go seek"......worked excellent, still cant find it.
4) Dash dressing (Armorall) tester......worked good, dash was slippery. (see #2 for follow up)
I think thats it.
F.J.
My phone does all that stuff, also if you dial *8890 it will read barometric pressure and tell you the proper jet size to use in any carbureted engine.
I have all the best sh!t don't ya know.
