Alternative Uses for Mobile Phones

I did a research on the uses of the old mobile phone models which are more than a generation old and are embarassing to carry with you. Examples: Ericsson GA 318, older versions of Nokia and the other brands.(I remember the model number of Ericsson because I used it many moons ago.LOL!)

Surprisingly, I came up with a number of uses these phones can be used for, besides talking of course. Here are some of them, addressed specifically to those who possess the above-listed models:


  1. The phone can be used as a weapon against attacks by muggers, kidnappers etc. The reason is simple: the phone is heavy enough to be used as a rock. So if you know all those karate and judo and sumo wrestling kicks and punches, please pass on the phone to your spouse or child or friend who are not trained in self-defence. Also pass on the instructions that one punch from the phone will knock out the attacker.
    Please note: In most cases, the phone-punch will not be required since one glance at the mobile will scare the attacker, and he will run for his dear life.


  2. The phone is also very helpful if you wish to have biceps like those of Salman Khan and Arnold S. (Sorry, I can't spell his surname). Your phone is very similar to weight with a dumbell. Just curl your fingers around it, and then use it as you would use a dumbell. The great advantage here is that you can exercise anywhere-- in the cinema, at the traffic signal etc.


  3. Another terrific use of your phone is that it can instantly make you a hero. This is how it can be done:
    Take the example of a bank. You are in the bank when there is a hold-up. Now all you have to do is approch the robber from behind, touch his back with the aerial-side of your phone, and simply say:"It's a gun." The aerial will feel like the barrel of a gun to the robber. He will immediately flee, and you will be a hero!
    You can use it in a similar way in case of a hijack.
    However, please note that in case there are a number of hijackers or robbers, it will be better if there a few more people with similar phones.


  4. Lastly, the most IMPORTANT advantage. After I publish this research in a reputed techno magazine, the demand for your phone will instantly shoot up and will fetch you a great price.
    Be sure you give me 50% of the amount!
