    Cell Phone Karma,
    A new take away fried chicken store opened recently in the neighborhood. My first and only visit I ordered from the menu and paid for the meal. I waited patiently as my meal was delivered to the pick up counter with my ticket number on it. I approached the counter and the staff took out his mobile and proceeded to make a call, converse, then hang up and finally hand me my meal with a grunt of acknowledgment. I thanked him for the first and last meal that I will ever purchase there, and walked out the door. I work the front counter at the hardware store a block down. When asked where to get food, I advise my customers of places that have good service and this place that doesn't. While on a break, walking in the square, the owner overheard my comment to a visitor, and asked me about it. I explained of the visit to his establishment. He was not pleased at my story, but then asked me to wait as he had to make a call. I left. The message didn't get through.
    Slainte.

    People who do check their cell phone at every beep or quiver deserve to have their private bits glow in the dark-- not that that is apt to happen. If you don't like the look of the phone on your belt, clip it to the inside of your kilt where, like a detective's pistol, it will accessible but unobtrusive.

    Unfortunately, it's a work phone and I was at work. In my office that qualifies under point 1 part 2

    Here's what I found on the Cancer Research UK web site:

    "...What does the evidence say?

    The largest study so far on mobile phones and cancer is a Danish study, which looked at over 420,000 people. It found no link between mobile phones and any type of cancer including brain cancers and leukaemia. Even people who had been using their phones for 10 years or more did not have increased risks.

    The vast majority of other studies have also found that mobile phones do not increase the risk of cancer...."

    However, I should point out that just because a link hasn't been found it doesn't mean that one doesn't exist. All it proves is that one hasn't been found yet.

    I know too much about high frequency electromagnetic waves to be comfortable about this. Personally, I think I'm going to keep my mobile somewhere else.

    Unless you use yours only for work & when it rings it's either (a) dispatch -or- (b) my supervisor & you had better answer it or else!
