Cell phone at the gas pump.

So I go to fill my daily driver, and I’m talking to my wife on the cell. Normally I pay at the pump, so this is never an issue, but today I was going inside. Anyway, the gas attendant wouldn’t start the pump for me until I turned off my cell. I know there has been some talk of sparks causing the pump to explode, but from a cell??? Come on…

When I go in to pay, this kid is pushing a little pamphlet on the dangers of static and cell phones at the gas pumps. I tell him it’s an urban legend, but he’s ‘seen the video’ and knows it true.

So, just how could my solid-state cell have enough of a spark to blow the place down? What a crock…
