Ringing Endorsement

Nearer, My Cod, To Thee

A businessman in the UK who lost his cellphone on a beach was amazed when it turned up - in the belly of a giant cod. A week later, his girlfriend's cellphone rang and it was a fisherman saying he'd found the phone in a 25lb (11.5 kg) fish. The handset was returned, allowed to dry out - and it still works.

FOOTNOTE: In cod we trust.

Emergency Measures

Yes, Of Course It’s A Life-Threatening Situation

A woman in Manchester dialled 999 because she was furious she could not get through to vote on the TV show Strictly Come Dancing. Others in a string of ridiculous emergency calls included a priest complaining he was not allowed to use a toilet in a W. H. Smith store and a man who said shop staff had put unwanted mushrooms on his pizza.
