Ever searched for a misplaced ringing cell phone? She will never again experience the frustration of searching for it.

I'll bet that voids the phone's warranty.

For sale on ebay... as soon as it passes.

Boy, good thing it wasn't one of those old rotary phones. That'd go down a lot harder.

It always amazes me how far women will go to spite a man. They'll basically kill themselves- painfully- to do so. It's one of the wonders of life that makes no sense.

"The boyfriend was also initially charged with battery* until he explained to police that he punched the woman only in an attempt to dial 911 and summon help."

(* unintended ancillary pun)
