Quick Tip: Dropping The Call, Literally
This month is Get Off The Phone Month. The Donkey provides techniques for you to get off the phone quickly when your wife calls.
The Juggle till you drop method
If you are as spastic as me, you drop your cell phone quite a bit. The result is usually a neat mini explosion that consists of the protective casing flying off your phone while your battery ejects like a little man out of a canon. You then put the phone back together and wait for it to reboot. Dropping your phone is a sure way to get off the phone with your wife, but you don’t want to purposely drop the phone. You really need to have an excuse for dropping it. I like to see how long I can balance my phone by the antenna on one finger while my wife is talking. I also like to answer, “Uh-huh” when my wife says something and then spin my phone in my palm to see if I can complete a revolution. Sometimes I fail and the phone falls and explodes. I love it when this happens because I get off the phone and if my wife asks I can legitimately say,” Oh sorry, I accidentally dropped the phone.” No lying involved and you get a little piece of your life back. Nice!

Heheh…
This entry is absurd and insensitive, but I laughed - a belly laugh.
It cracks me up the intricate schemes that men will go through to avoid simply saying to his woman, “Let’s talk about this later. I gotta go.”
The funniest thing is that most women would prefer this dodge and scheme method than direct confrontation any day, despite saying otherwise.

My brother bought the kit “Juggling for Idiots” a few years ago for himself… Oddly, it didn’t contain a cellphone with an antennae.
I have a few sisters and one gay friend who are absolutely CLUELESS on the phone. I say “Well, I have to hang up now because I have to do work, and my boss is glaring at me,” and they’ll say “Oh, did I tell you that my geranium bloomed!?! You know the one! I had it in the garage all winter and it looked like death and everyone at the last play group looked at it and said for certain there was no way I would ever get that thing to even look GREEN again much less…” BLAH BLAH BLAH.
So, just FYI, it’s not just HUSBANDS who are phone juggling! (-;

i think this could end up being a costly way of getting of the phone, any less damaging ideas?

It is good that you work for an employer that will replace your phone without any questions asked whenever it breaks from the continual drops.
