What about the exploding costs!!!!
For English, press 1
Por Espanol marke el 2
To explode and bleed, press 3
Air strike went in on the outskirts of Fallujah targeting a specific building hiding some Foreign Fighters from Syria or Chechnya trying to infiltrate. Good hit, target destroyed. About thirty seconds later, my radio battalion guys monitor a cell phone call from a terrorist cell leader, saying "the Americans missed me, but they just hit XXXXXX's house across the street." We called the air dogs back, had them re-target and run another strike. BIG BOOM! Secondary explosions all over the place from a weapons/ammunition cache they had in the house that the idiot just called from. Thanks for the assist Hadji. He's doing a one-on-one interview with Allah right about now.
When beebers are stuned, only the stuned will have beebers.
...I must admit to wishing the person dining at the next table, talking incessantly about absolutely nothing... A real situation ethics question to ponder..
Well, that explains how some people drive...
Hmmmm....and that "clerk" at the convenience mart who talks out of one side of her mouth at you and with the other, the phone...
Ahh...the good ole days. It was so nice when people couldn't track you down every minute of the day!! lol
That's what you get for buying non-OEM extra capacity batteries.
They can take my beebers when they pry it from my cold, stuned hand!
I was sorely tempted in an airport last week... some jerk talking business loud enough for us to hear everything (his side) clearly five tables away. At one point he gave his name and cell# -- I was tempted towrite it down, go over to a pay phone nearby, call him, and let him know what I'd learned about his business, his contacts, etc...
Doesn't this story rate a "SKY IS FALLING!" alert?
Sorry, but no 13 year old really needs a cell phone. We survived without them when we were kids. They can too.
"The family chose not to sue and has instead allowed the companies involved and a consumer group to come to their house to study the damage, in the hopes it won't happen to someone else"
This family is a relic of a time long past.
As often as is necessary to get the point across.
I tell you what!
I am unsensitised to stunn. I couldn't be stunned, if I tried.
That's from being stunned so many times.
People wouldn't go buy "Bubba Clyde's Gen-You-Ine Papier Mache Tires" and then be surprised if they had a blowout.
You don't shop at "Ben Ho's House Of Chicken Salad Sandwiches and Propane Tank Regulators" and not expect to level your house at your next barbecue.
You wouldn't go to "Big Bart's Discount Auto Repair and Neurosurgery".
So why are they surprised they're buying cheap batteries that are malfunctioning? There's a reason the phrase "you get what you pay for" came into existence.
Oh, my! There's a penguin on the Telly!
Booooooom!
No there isn't.
Only the stuned die young. :-/
