    I learned a valuable lesson today

    This may already be common knowledge to the rest of you, but I had to learn it the hard way.

    If you put your cell phone in your sporran, don't leave it on vibrate! Talk about a rude awakening!

    I was in my office explaining some calculations to a young lady in my engineering department when my sporran started vibrating. She must have thought my crotch was on fire, the way I yelped and started grabbing at it!

    Yes, that's what you need; a growling or roaring phone ringer to put in the sporran.

    Mine clucks like a chicken. And no, I'm not joking. When people call me, my sporran starts clucking like an angry chicken.

    There you went and did it now I'll have to clean my monitor! I'll have to say though that's better than something like "Scooby, Scooby Doo! Where are you?" LOL!
