I cringe everytime my cell phone rings. It's never anything good. Always somebody with a problem and because I answered, I'm now roped in and responsible for helping them solve it.

When was the last time anybody got a cell phone call and it was good news?

Sam, when I get home, I leave the phone downstairs with the ringer off. If it's an emergency, they go through my son's phone.

I'm an old geezer, I'm not wedded to my phone, though I admit I really like my Iphone 6+. Takes great pictures, and I have my ITunes account on the phone.

“When was the last time anybody got a cell phone call and it was good news? “

I got a call from the former prime minsiter of Nigeria’s son.
He wants my help; but I could make millions of dollars. I think thats pretty good news.

My wife has a joke about those bad news phonecalls, some family member was giving her guff about how the bedroom phone is turned off. They “said what if I need you at 2AM”, her answer was “nobody needs me at 2AM, you might need a doctor, or a mechanic, or a lawyer, but you don’t need me. Any way I can help can wait until a reasonable hour.”

I got a cell phone call recently from someone who told me that I may have already won some valuable prizes. Isn’t that good news? ;)

I just checked mine to see. 8 days ago, my son called to say hi and ask how I was. He didn’t ask for money or anything, but said he was just thinking of me while on his way home from work. It pretty much made my day that day!

^ This + 1 Same with the mail. It’s never good news when you own your own business.
