first off...i hate electric fences, i swear i can't get a shock from one that isn't even on. anyways a few years ago i was putting up a hot wire in the bull pasture and was connecting the last wire to the battery and at that very second my phone, which was in my front pocket rang(set to vibrate). :shock: :shock: i'm glad i was by myself, i must have jumped 6 ft. in the air. for a second there, i thought i was a gonner. :roll:

I may have told ya'll this story, but it sure fits here..... I just got a new cell and set it to vibrate and then ring. Construction is noisy and I could never hear the dang thing without the buzz. So with phone in my shirt pocket, I headed home across a dirt road. Halfway up lookout pass I spied a big rattler. I jumped out of the truck and realized i had no shovel, which except for a shooting iron is my choice of weapons in snake thumping. So I made a monument of rocks and boulders until the snake quit moving. Then I found a 4 foot cedar limb and thought i'd get the critter out of the road. About the 4th time it fell off my stick i was getting disgusted but I finally got it on the stick. And then my phone went off.... I threw the stick and the snake about 3/4 of a mile and almost beat myself to death killing my short pocket. I might also mention i hate snakes a lot. Stupid phone.

'h, I thought your story was pretty funny until it reminded me of when I first got a cell phone. I wore it clipped on my belt.


You hate snakes and I hate bumble bees and wasps. They can literally make the hair on my neck stand straight up just by doing a near "flyby" or buzzing me too close.

I was driving down the road one morning soon after I got it and somebody called me. I almost had the truck door open and ready to jump out before I realized that it was my cellphone buzzing on my hip and not a bee under my belt. About wrenched my back jumping away from it . . .

:shock: :shock: :shock: :oops:
