| Consumer Tip On What Not To Buy! |
News Brief | |||
I bought this cordless telephone at a well known electronic wholesaler, and I was assured that the low price didn't reflect the quality. They were right - the phone is not even worth the 30 bucks I paid for it. Its range is 3 feet, and distortion occurs at any greater distance. Often, I can hear my Aunt Elma next door on my phone, due to the high traffic frequency this phone uses, and you can scan all you want, but you'll never find a clear channel. I suggest you get 2 tin cans and a long string, and make a telephone of the same quality for a helluva lot cheaper. Oh yeah....this telephone is sensitive to the weather...if it rains, you can actually hear raindrops in the little speaker....I know this may seem stupid, but if you own one of these babies, you'll know what I mean.

Cow swallows
baby Minnesota - A prized cow swallowed a baby after the toddler fell of the fence his mother had placed him on and fell into the feed trough. Within seconds, the mother, Rhonda Samuels, noticed what had happened and summoned her husband who was working only a few feet away, checking the corn in his hopper. Ben Samuels and three of his farmhands immediately stunned the cow using a 50 pound sledge hammer and then used an exacto knife to slit open the cow's stomach.The toddler was alive and well, even though he was encrusted in the cow's intestinal fluid. " It was like he was born all over again...he started to cry and my heart wept with him..." said Rhonda. When questioned about the incident, Ben Samuels mentioned that this was not the first time the cow had gotten into trouble. Last year, in July, the cow had eaten all the shotgun shells out of his safety cabinet. It was quarantined after it began farting bullets and almost killed a feed delivery man. Eventually, it had fired off all 25 shells it had ingested. In August, the cow had drank all the whiskey out of the still, almost 345 fluid ounces and even after 2 months, the milk it gave was strong enough to bring a man to his knees. After this latest incident, the Samuels family roasted the remains of the cow over an open hearth and invited all their neighbors to the largest barbecue party ever seen in the state. |
