Some people still have weird thoughts like that. This morning, my
mother's hearing aid battery went dead and she told me that she
didn't carry spares because they would magnetize everything in
her purse!

Including her little Kleenex packet?

And if you tried to put spare cells in her purse to prove to her that this
wasn't so, she do everything possible to keep you from touching her purse,
including even kicking and biting you. (I'm not kidding.)
