So no one here has a cell phone? I find that very hard to believe. Now one thing I have to say in defense of the cell phone user is that not all, not even most, cell phone users are morons. The fact of the matter is that there are morons everywhere. And alot of people have cell phones. This thread should be called "Lets swap stupid cell phone stories" which we all can do. Of course we could also have a bad drivers (with no cell phone involved) thread. Anoying people at movies thread (again could even limit that to no cell phone stories and would still have plenty) and as far as using the hands free mic to talk on the cell phone I do not see how that is any safer. I mean that is based on the theory that people are more unsafe on self phones becasue they are only driving with one hand. But I always only drive with one hand (as do most,or atleast alot of, people) and I also sometimes (rarely) will drive and talk on the cell phone. And not to toot my own horn but I think I am a decent enough driver either way. Of course I am also just not an idiot. And as for talking on a cell phone while driving increasing your chances of getting into a wreck as much as having a BAC of .04 I have heard that before but I would take that with a grain of salt. People can use statistics to "prove" anything. That could just be an example of that.

He finally beat death in a best 34 out of 67 match. At that time he could ask for any one thing and he could wish for the hope of all mankind... he looked death right in the eye and said ... "I would like about three fiddy"
