Well, Duh back at you. My phone does not have an "11" button, so there!!

His is "one better".

 

Since 911 is prime, maybe you press '1' nine-hundred eleven times.

Only for people with OCD, I have a problem counting that high.

 

Why not we put this thread in the sticky and every time we see a post with titles like "Help" or "Urgent", we just link it to here.

Personally, I never bother with those thread titles.

What number do I dial for 911??

Didn't you pay attention to my post? you dial 991 to get 911 !!!!

 

I this thread keeps like this, it is me who is going to ask for HELP!

The Disney version of Hercules said the number for an emergency is "IXII". My kids were too young to get the joke at the time but I liked it.

Finger hum? I may be older but I got into the electronics game kind of late in life. You'll have to either give me more to google or openly laugh at my ignorance.

Just invent the dyslexic; dialectic phone.

Edit: ya pulled that one out of the hat.

 

I thought you were in on that joke. Finger hum is what we used for a signal injector for audio amplifiers before smart phones were invented. I guess you missed that thread (today).

That was martinez and wayneh in on that joke.

 

Well... there hasn't been any activity in this post for more than 12 hrs...
So I take it that our friend has:

• Solved his problem
• Doesn't give a tiny rat's ass anymore
• Is being attended by the electronic paramedics (para-electronicians)
• Is in ICU
• Has passed on to a better life

Either way, mission accomplished...

Ha, ha.

It is kind of an "in" joke, but we called that "discharged to eternal care." You see, the regulatory bean counters used to look at "length of stay" as an important criterion for evaluating hospital performance. As you might not have guessed, the bean counters didn't differentiate between discharge to eternal care and discharge to a happy family. Either type of discharge saved money.

That sounds a lot like our Social Security down here in Mexico...

 

Ha, ha.

Reminds me of when I was in College. The Electrical Automation Instructor place a box on a table that every student would have to pass as we entered the Lab. A "Red Button" was on top. I noticed a small metallic center; my suspicions automatically raised; you are correct it involved a capacitor.

Words included on the box; (Danger, do not touch this "Button")

At the end of the Semester he ask's; how many of you are willing to say they touched the "Red Button?"
