COMMUTER PHONE JAMMER CAUGHT

A 63-year-old Chicago man was charged Tuesday with using a cell phone jammer on the Chicago El. Certified public accountant Dennis Nicholl is charged with a felony for using a signal-jamming device. His reason: He was annoyed by all the people on their cell phones and used the jammer to get a little peace and quiet. For months, Chicago Police investigated complaints about dropped calls on the Red Line. Then, a 911 caller flagged police when he noticed a guy with a strange device. Undercover officers arrested him on a CTA platform Tuesday and he is now facing a felony charge. Cell phone jammers are sold online for anywhere between $30 and $300. Federal law prohibits anyone from selling, buying or operating the devices. They block cell phone reception, police radios and emergency calls.
* Should have gone with an iPod and a pair of earbuds.
* Hmm, the possibilities are endless here. All of them unfortunately quite illegal.
* For starters, how about a signal jammer for your teenager’s room?
* This is cool but what I need is a device that can trace spam emails and counter-spam them back.
* Ditto for these marketing calls. If I get one more computer-repair call I’m going to lose it.
* The good news? This guy will be getting lots of peace and quiet sitting in his jail cell.
* Now he’s hoping he won’t get jammed by his cellmate.

posted March 2

After a few minutes, the cabbie says, “Sister, I have a question, but I don´t want to offend you.” The nun says, “I´ve heard just about everything. I promise you, nothing you say will offend me.” Cabbie says, “Alright… I´ve always had a fantasy to be kissed by a nun.” She says “Well… are you single?” He says, “Yes.” She says, “Are you Catholic?” He says, “Absolutely!” Nun says, “Pull into that alley.” He does, and she give him a kiss so passionate it could melt stained glass. As they drive away, the cabbie starts crying. The nun says, “My dear child, why are you crying?” He says “Forgive me, Sister… I´ve sinned. I lied. I´m married … and I´m Jewish.” The nun says “That´s okay. My name´s Dave and I´m on my way to a Halloween party.”
