So, I Was Standing At The Urinal...

Good thing he had a hold button. Nothing worse than when Nature is on the line and you don’t have ‘call waiting’.

LOL :smiley:

LOLLOL :smiley: :smiley:

I wonder if that’s an oxymoron? :dubious:

That OP brought back memories of the time I felt a sharp stabbing pain in my heart. Every time I moved it stabbed worse, I thought ‘my god, I’m having a heart attack and this is how it feels in the beginning’. Then I realised that the underwire in my bra had snapped and was sticking in to me. Oh the relief - it was only metal fatigue.

Remember those big clunky pagers from a few decades ago?

I was working on a desktop computer, installing a new hard drive, video card etc for work, when my pager went off. (I had it on vibrate) I swear to God I thought I was being electrocuted! I must have jumped 5 feet and almost went into arrest, when I figured out it was the damn pager going off. After that, I never had it on me while my hands were on the inside of a computer.

And yes the computer had been turned off and unplugged, but the brain didn’t happen to process that information until AFTER I almost had heart failure.

One of my friends had to do this when he was a kid. His mom gave him a large paper cup to pee in. After the deed was done, his mom was holding the cup in her lap when the bottom disintegrated. I don’t know why they didn’t just pour the cup out the window.

Oooh, I’ve had the Underwire Bra-Stabbing Pain-It-Must-Be-Cancer syndrome.

I do not own a pager. Yes, I know there is something seriously wrong with me.

The first time I was given a pager at a restaurant, I clipped it to my waistband.

I sat there with friends chatting and suddenly my entire body jolted and I spazzed out like Steve Martin in “All of Me” after Edwina Cutwater’s Soul enters half of his body. It was a damn good thing I didn’t have a drink in my hand or it would have gone flying.

I will never own a beeper for this reason. That and I don’t need one.
