David In Indy:
Three friends of mine from England were here visiting me recently (one of them is still here) and I took them up to Conner Prairie, a living history museum located on the north side of Indianapolis. As we were walking around the settlement, we noticed a woman dressed in a 1820's frontier costume, sitting in front of her cabin talking on her cell phone.   

She must have been taking her lunch break.  :-\

My favorite cellphone story came from a guy named Charles from Chicago, who was a stall in the mensroom and heard someone in the next stall say, "Hello". Startled, he responded, "Hi". Which prompted the voice to say, "Any plans for tonight? "

That brought a quick, "Sorry, I'm busy", to which the voice next door responded, "I'll just have to call you back. Every time I ask you a question, the idiot in the next stall answers".

A Funny Cell Phone Story

I lose everything.

It's just who I am.

For instance, I recently lost my purse for about a week. Previous to that I lost my cell phone for about two weeks. I'm frequently losing cell phones and papers. I'm just horrible, frankly.

Well...last night we went through the cell phone thing again. I couldn't find it and couldn't find it. I was doing laundry down in the basement, so I took a break from my search to go put another load in. I emptied the dryer. Then I proceeded to empty the washer and put that load into the dryer. I got to the bottom of the wet clothes in the washer and what did I see? Oh...I bet you can't guess...

My CELL PHONE!

Yup. Right there at the bottom of the still-damp washer tub.

Of course it didn't power on. I chucked about ti because my contract is almost up and I'll be moving on anyway, but I was still a little sad because I was a doofus.

Anyway, I got back upstairs, I took the battery off and left the flip phone open, hoping it would dry out.

I came home from school today and put the battery back on, and wouldn't you know it? The thing fired right back up! I almost died laughing. It's really no worse for wear, except for a little condensation in the clock and the screen has some wet parts that look like cheetah spots.

I may be able to use it for the rest of my contract. My amazing swimming cell phone!:)

Here's a story I first saw a couple of years ago and thought was funny. It's by a woman who got a new cell phone and somehow was assigned a phone number that used to belong to Chris Rock.

Now here's my cell phone story:

My husband is a writer who covers, among other things, a big cell phone company. So the company lent him a fancy expensive new cellphone to write about. It had a bunch of video games on it, so he gave it to my kids to test drive on a drive from Chicago to Minneapolis.

It was a hot summer day. We made a pit stop at a hotel. When my sons noticed the hotel pool, they asked at the front desk if they could take a quick dip. Sure, just 50 cents for towels! They didn't have bathing suits, so they just wore their shorts and plunged right in ...

 :o

... You guessed it. My son had the fancy expensive phone in his pocket.
