Subject: BS: Curious about discovery in a telephone. From: An Buachaill Caol Dubh Date: 15 Mar 11 - 03:42 PM The cord of my telephone having been broken accidentally, and attempts to splice the four wires together having failed, I eventually had to resort to opening it in an attempt to detach the remainder of the line entirely and then buy a new one. Inside, I found a square package of what seems like soft caramel, sealed in clear plastic. It surely has no connection with the operation of the phone? Does anyione know? |
Subject: RE: BS: Curious about discovery in a telephone. From: GUEST,999 Date: 15 Mar 11 - 03:51 PM Someone put it there. However, to be safe, throw the thing in a lake. It's an old assassin's trick to wire a phone and when the assassin makes sure the target is on the line, kaboom. Alternatively, maybe a child/friend has put it there and it really IS a caramel. Either way, it won't hurt the lake. |

Subject: RE: BS: Curious about discovery in a telephone. From: VirginiaTam Date: 15 Mar 11 - 05:11 PM There was something similar in our phone (a cordless) when opened to put the rechargeable battery in. I didn't think much about it. Just figured it was there for some reason and let it be. |

Subject: RE: BS: Curious about discovery in a telephone. From: gnu Date: 15 Mar 11 - 07:38 PM Just don't eat the caramel! But... if you can't resist, be sure to floss and brush and swish with a proper mouthwash. Cleanliness is next to Godliness. And it saves $$$ at the dental clinic. |

Subject: RE: BS: Curious about discovery in a telephone. From: GUEST,999 Date: 16 Mar 11 - 03:39 PM OK. After the past few posts I went into a fit of giggles. Now I don't laugh if I do n,t think about it. I just thought about the original poster who had a EUREKA. That thing in the phone--it IS the Invisibility Cloak!!! |
Subject: RE: BS: Curious about discovery in a telephone. From: Don Firth Date: 16 Mar 11 - 04:21 PM Jus' curious. Suppose you shuck out that exhorbitant price for a Harry Potter Cloak of Invisibility. Even when it arrives and you open the box, how do you know they actually sent it to you? Just my suspicious nature, I guess. . . . Don Firth |
