The Mobile Story, Part 1

I have recently upgraded my mobile phone from a Nokia 8250 to a Nokia 6610.  (Yup, I am a Nokia fan!)  But the upgrade does not come easy, or cheap...

I have been using the 8250 for slightly more than a year, so I am already eligible for upgrade.  I wasn't in a hurry, because the 8250 serves me well, and most of all, I am quite reluctant to pay for a new phone.  Then tragedy strikes!

I was having a little of a tummy upset that day, so I make a bee-line for the loo.  In my haste, I forgot to remove the phone from the back pocket, so when I was pulling up my pants, the phone make a dive for the "swimming pool" of pee!  (Luckily, I did not do any poo-poo!)  I manage to retrieve the phone from the "pool", (How?  Please, please, dun make me elaborate!)  I introduced more water into the phone to flush all the "foreign objects".  When the phone is properly dried, I found that the LCD screen is no longer working.  

So out I go to hunt for a new phone.  To make a very long story short, I managed to trade in the 8250 for $20, which I thought was a good bargain.  I paid $220 for the new 6610, and well, that's the end of the first installment of "The Mobile Story" !

Mother: "How could he be five, I've only been married three years!"

Conductor: "Look lady, I take fares, not confessions."
