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.)


Most people are disconnected from the modern technologies. I once went
to buy a watch battery. They came in a two pack, I only wanted one. The
sales girl said to save one by wrapping it in tinfoil and putting it in
the fridge!!! Where in the world did she get that? Ken

Putting it in the fridge sounds like a good idea, wrapping it in
"tinfoil" sounds like a bad idea, but fortunately tinfoil is not so
easily available.
