The Opposite

I have a very good friend who is able to speak so fast, that you need a video camera to capture and then play back in slow motion, ideally 1/16 of the speed, rewind and then freeze it to be able to process what she just said.

Well for the last three years I had this insatiable quest to look for the opposite ... and finally, challenging as it is, like looking for a 5 cents coin in the airport runway, I found it!

The mobile phone

Just heard a very interesting story on the radio ...

One of the last wishes of this guy was to have his mobile phone buried with him. He is so used to having a phone with him all the time that he felt he should have one in his after life. So they fulfilled his wish and buried him with his phone in the coffin.

Guess what, a few weeks later, they found his SIM card on the floor! Apparently his grandson was playing with his phone during the funeral and accidentally took out the SIM card .. so they dig up the poor chap, open up the coffin and inserted the card back in his phone and make sure it 'works'.

Such great relatives ...

I hope they didn't forget the phone charger as well...
