Dog eats mobile phone ["Returns it" next day]
Pakistan Daily Times ^ | 11-8-04

Posted on 11/08/2004 5:36:17 PM PST by SJackson

A Turkish petrol attendant who lost his mobile phone dialed the number to discover it had been eaten by his dog. The man, from the province of Konya, could not believe his ears when his dog’s stomach started ringing.

The dog had picked up the Nokia phone and swallowed it when his owner wasn’t looking, reports the Anadolu news agency. The man thought a customer must have stolen the phone as he filled up their car with petrol. “I’m just glad my phone wasn’t stolen after all,” he said, adding that nature’s course ensured he was reunited with his Nokia the next day. ananova

"I'm sorry, I cannot answer the phone at the moment as my phone is in my dog's lower intestine. Please leave your name, number and a brief message and I will call you as soon as my stupid mutt poops."

,,, NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNnnnnNokia's new self finding model, seemingly? You simply can't buy advertising like this. I bet the Turks run GSM... this phone's performance could only be better after this sort of adventure.
