Sometimes You Need A Little Chest-Beating

Easy Answers to Hard Math Problems

I laughed aloud at these answers:

Cell Phone Capabilities

This was sent to me and I was skeptical but it checks out on Snopes and I've tried a couple myself. They work, try it for yourself.

THINGS YOU NEVER KNEW YOUR CELL PHONE COULD DO. There are a few things that can be done in times of grave emergencies. Your mobile phone can actually be a life saver or an emergency tool for survival.

Check out the things that you can do with it:

1. Emergency

The emergency number worldwide for mobile is 112. If you find yourself out of the coverage area of your mobile network and there is an emergency, dial 112 and the mobile will search any existing network to establish the emergency number for you, and interestingly this number
112 can be dialed even if the keypad is locked. Try it out.

2. Have you locked your keys in the car?

Does you car have remote keyless entry? This may come in handy someday.

Good reason to own a cell phone. If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are at home, call someone at home on their cell phone from your cell phone. Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have the person at home to press the unlock button, holding it near the mobile phone on their end. Your car will unlock. Saves someone from having to drive your keys to you. Distance is no object. You could be hundreds of miles away, and if you can reach someone who has the other "remote" for your car, you can unlock the doors (or the trunk).!

3. Hidden Battery Power

Imagine your cell battery is very low. To activate, press the keys *3370# your cell will restart with this reserve and the instrument will show a 50% increase in battery. This reserve will get charged when you charge your cell next time.

4. How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone.

To check your mobile phone's serial number, key in the following digits on your phone: *#06#. A 15 digit code will appear on the screen. This number is unique to your handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe. When your phone gets stolen, you can phone your service provider and give them this code. They will then be able to block your handset so even if the thief change the SIM card, your phone will be totally useless. You probably won't get your phone back, but at least you know that whoever stole it can't use/sell it either. If everyone does this, there would be no point in people stealing phones.

5. 411 Information Calls

Cell phone companies are charging us $1.oo to $1.75 or more for 411 information calls when they don't have to. Most of us do not carry a telephone directory in our vehicle, which makes this situation even more of a problem. When you need to use the 411 information option, simply
dial: 800 FREE 411 or 800 373-3411 without incurring any charge at all.

Program this into your cell phone now.

What Do YOU Think This Meant?

An elderly couple was attending church services, about halfway through she leans over and says to her husband, "I just let out a silent fart, what do you think I should do?"

He replies, "Put a new battery in your hearing aid."

------------------------------------

I thought she had spoken too loud so everyone could hear her.

My wife pointed out that the joke was that the fart was not silent.

Which is it?

Bonilla The Gorilla

I live a surreal life.

Go read this first to understand why getting the email below today just about floored me.

AT THE TIME YOU GET THIS MSG, I HOPE YOU ARE STANDING AT ATTENTION AFTER YOU READ THE SUBJECT!

How are you doing sir? It is good to see or hear from one of your fellow Marines especially one whom you had a chance to make a positive impact on.

This was a good reading material, as you can probably imagine I had the entire family read it and every one was impressed not only with the story, but with your writing also. My oldest son (24 school teacher) said that he knows exactly what you're talking about in your article. Well I’m very proud of your accomplishments in your life. I talked to Sergio and we are going to get together and send you some pictures. I made Gysgt and then had to get out for personal reasons, but I still love the USMC.

I’m a drivers license examiner for the state of NC, can you imaging that? Some of the young drivers get to see the gorilla once in a while when they fail the driving test, but somehow they all ways come back and request me for their second test and it drives my fellow workers crazy because they can’t understand why them young marines insist in coming back to see me, and I tell them that it's that EGA in my heart. Stay in touch.

Semper Fi!

I did it my way and I’m proud of it.
