'Oh No!, my cell won't work'

'Oh No!, my cell won't work'

For security reasons, all cellular phone signals have been
jammed around the venue summit. However, State Minister for
Development of Eastern Indonesia Manuel Kaisiepo did not realize
it, thinking that his cellular phone must have been on the blink.
So he did what most of the world's cellular phone technicians are
apparently trained to do -- he shook it violently.

After attending a ministerial meeting between Brunei,
Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines on Monday, the minister
tried to make a phone call from his phone and found that it still
would not work.

He moved around from one spot to another shaking it as he went
only to find the "no signal" sign on his cell phone. After trying
for a few minutes, he decided to put the phone back in his
pocket.

"The minister should be informed by about the security
measures. He looks so confused," said one snickering conference
official. --JP
