17. Ha! Ha! That happened to me once in Atlantic City, NJ
A cabbie picked me up at the bus station where the Philadelphia airport Limo dropped people off. It was 1969 or 1970 and we were being terrorized by somebody, I can't remember who, putting bombs in airplane luggage. So, like now, people were very jumpy about it because of media hype. Well, we're going down the main drag in Atlantic City when one of my bags started to vibrate and whir. The cabbie slams on the brakes in the middle of traffic, jumps out of the car, and runs about 20 yards away screaming. My hubbie and I were scared too, but we opened the bag, because we both thought we recognized the sound of our toothbrush.

It was hilarious in a ridiculous sort of way, except the cabbie was so pissed he almost refused to drive us home at 1 a.m. :rofl:

11. Nine times out of ten, it's an electric razor but...
...every once and a while, it's a dildo. Of course, it's company policy never to imply ownership in the event of a dildo. We have to use the indefinate artical A dildo, never YOUR dildo.
