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

That could be quite entertaining with a fully charged NiCd.
