I used to have a neighbour whose profession required that he be "on call"  
24/7 so he was an early user of cell phones and he kept them in his chest  
pocket most of the day.

Whenever I saw him out feeding and watering his 13-15 horses and two  
donkeys (all rescued by his wife ) as I was cycling by, I'd stop in to  
shoot the breeze for a spell.

One day I mentioned that he looked like $#!+ (after not having seen him in  
quite a while) and he told me that they had found cancer in him. Again.  
Apparently it was the second time, his having beat the first one.

I told him that he was just yanking my chain because he looked pretty  
robust for a guy his age, let alone someone who was battling cancer.

It was then that he opened up his shirt to show me "burn" marks on his  
chest, telling me that the scarred tissue just happened to coincide with  
the location where he kept his cell phone most of the time and he strongly  
believed that the cell phone played a major role in his being afflicted  
with cancer.

I say "used" to have a neighbour because over the years he "beat" cancer 4  
times but sadly, lost the fifth battle.
