Not nearly as stupid as paying 5 or 6 hundred dollars for a freakin' PHONE, for crying out loud!
Yeah, I hear what you're saying...I almost went ballistic when the missus was considering spending over AU$200 on a mobile phone....I found a prepaid Nokia (no contracts etc) for $140 that does all she'll ever need it to do. In fact, it has a 2gig MP3 player built in as well as....so the $299 one (which didn't) remains in the store.
.until I deliberately dropped it from an 8-storey building, to test the theory.
Ahhh, so it was you who.....I wondered where the heck that came from....and I guess you heard the cussafrassacassamassacassing from inside the eighth floor stairwell.
Ya know, all these years later I'm still getting...at the third stroke (must've dialed it on impact)....really annoying every hour on the hour...especially in the middle of the night when I'm trying to sleep.
