“He wanted the phone and she wouldn’t give it to him, so she attempted to swallow it,” Detective Sgt. Steve Decker of the Blue Springs Police Department. “She just put the entire phone in her mouth so he couldn’t get it.”

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I'm not sure what's more amazing, cell phones are becoming THAT SMALL or people's common sense has become THAT SMALL.

I don t really understand how can anyone be that stupid.
 
LOL! Hahahahahahahahahahaha! :smile:
 
I remember seeing this somewhere else, and someone replied with
"If my girlfriend could swallow a phone, I would be a happy man"
 
I knew a girl who could swallow a phone, but when I tried calling her for a date no one answered.
 
Funny, this happened in Blue Springs, MO. Now I understand. The only place worse is a few miles down the road in independence, MO, with a meth lab in every home. :rolleyes:
 
These Meth labs are starting to piss me off. Have you tried to buy benedryl lately? Sign here, initial here, thumbprint here all because I have a runny nose.

I'm almost afraid to go buy allergy pills. it's embarassing. I usually buy a bunch of vaseline and condoms at the same time so no one notices the pills and thinks I'm a junkie.

How does "average" IQ drop? The scoring system is normalized.
