I suspect they'd make for pretty decent trap shooting too.

I sometimes spazz out while I am trying to work and both the shop phone and my cell phone will ring off the hook. A couple of years ago, I put both the shop , and cell phone on my sturdy steel work bench, and smashed the living hell out of both of them with a nice 3 lb sledge. That temper tantrum cost me about 150.00 but I did not have to answer any phones for the rest of the day , and got done with the days work. I also ran one over ( this one was an accident). I also used to regularly lauch cordless handsets right out the front door. .

Dropped one as I stepped off of the boat onto the dock. It was just before dawn, and it made a volleyball-sized glowing green bubble as it blew up.

Was three days on the road before I was somewhere long enough to have a new one FedEx'd. BTW, your service providers' 'insurance' is a fraud. If you have it, you have been ripped off.

I took off down the road in my old Jeep. After a couple minutes, I saw something in my rear-view mirror shatter on the road behind me.

"Huh. That's strange" I thought to myself. A couple seconds later I remembered where I left my phone. "Oops!"

I did have the 2.99/month insurance, and they did give me a new phone when I brought the pieces to them in a shoebox.

Well I managed to drop my BlackBerry Pearl in the john this morning... Not the "best" way but it won't turn on so it's "effective"

When pagers were still the rage, I was at the outdoor shooting range when my ex-girlfriend beeped me. I promptly tossed it up in the air, drew my .45 and obliterated it after the 2nd shot.

Woke up one morning in my post-collegiate bachelor apartment-dwelling days with a phenomenal hangover and trudged into the bathroom to find my phone in the toilet. Doh.

Used to run a McD's and the staff used to drive me up a wall using the phone. Used to unplug it (wall mount) but they'd catch on and plug it back in. So I ripped the whole damn thing off the wall and tossed it in the safe. Problem solved.

Hunter S. Thompson wrote about a guy on the Presidential press plane who dropped his pager in the toilet and came out of the sheeter with his arm dyed blue up past his elbow.

I placed mine on a sheet of steel on the ground.
Then i oxy-acet cut some 150mm steel plate above it.

4hrs of oxy cutting slag rendered it unrecognisable!

I hated that phone!
