THIS IS A TEST, THIS IS ONLY A TEST.

[chknltl]

THE SKY IS FALLING! THE SKY IS FALLING! RUN INTO THE STREETS AND ALERT EVERYONE ELSE THAT THE SKY IS FALLING!

This has been a test of my emergency broadcast system.

Thank you for your cooperation.

That is all.

1. Regular

drinking will resume shortly.

[chknltl]

7. It was only a test.... not intended to sidetrack one....

...from important stuff like that. If this had been an actual emergency then it is ok to bring the drink outside in a covered container so as not to spill any while running amok.

2. Oh crap, just had a piece fall through the roof

[chknltl]

8. Sorry, different department. Crap falling out of the sky.....

...is investigated by NASA and the FAA.

[chknltl]

20. except if you are in Iraq, Afghanistan or Pakistan

Please return all fallen crap to Department of Defense.

[chknltl]

21. Even though the D.O.D. is chock full of crap....

They still want more crap! They are downright craptasticle!
(I know...weird huh?)

3. Emergency Broadcast Network

11. (my so called 'smart' phone wont let me see link.)

I suppose using the more appropriate name 'retarded phone' would have hurt sales.

16. I guess you'll just have to wait until you can get onto a "real" computer.

I'm on a mailing list for IT-recruiting (even though I'm not in the field) and a recent post they had was on "dumb phone" sales. It seems that for worldwide sales, dumb phones outnumber smart phones about three to one. To quote the email:

Last month ExtremeTech reported that a total of 1 billion feature phones (which are just a smidgen less dumb than dumbphones) were sold in 2011. Contrast that with a total of 250 million Android phones and 120 million iPhones. Another interesting thing: Profit margins are better for these retro units than they are for newer ones: Nokia makes more from a $50 phone than Samsung does with a $200+ smartphone. True, most dumbphone sales are in emerging markets like China, India and Brazil where lower costs are crucial.

My phone is one of those "feature phones", or a crackberry-lite Loft by Kyocera. It won't play videos, either, and I have no problem with that

4. DO NOT RUN IN CIRCLES, SCREAM AND SHOUT!

This is only a test.

[chknltl]

6. Please leave that to us professionals. eom

5. If this were a real emergency

you'd be dead, and you wouldn't care about this test. Have a nice day.

[chknltl]

12. but a little running amok as the emergency develops can't hurt.

Thanks for the well wishes, you have a nice day too.

9. C+

Buckle down and study harder next time. We know you have the potential.

[chknltl]

13. Well, i am trying.

Which was why my ex left me.








(She constant told me that I was very trying)

10. was it pass/fail?

[chknltl]

14. Everyone here passed.

My deputy failed because he forgot to bring his hard hat though. Lucky for him this was only a test!

15. Nice post, ...

... Henny Penny.

[chknltl]

18. The great Henny Penny, contrary to propaganda......

.....disseminated by some rascally foxes out to change history, survived to a ripe old age keeping a sharp watch on the sky for years before retiring to an undisclosed location in England.

17. "Anyone else see a bright white light?"

- Keith Richards immediately after witnessing a thermonuclear detonation.

[chknltl]

19. Which is why he should keep his day job....

...and leave Sky-Watching to professionals!

22. When's the make-up? I conveniently scheduled a dental appt!

[chknltl]

23. Call me pecker-headed but make-up tests are not allowed.

Professional amok running requires spontaneity!
