You have one new message. Message from: AK-47.

Ever been "pocket-dialled"? I have. People have their phones in their pockets, and accidentally dial you?

Usually, when this happens to me, I get a bus ride, a bunch of papers shuffling, or maybe someone coughing or clearing his or her throat.

But that's far from what the family of a US soldier in Afghanistan got. BBC NEWS has the story and the audio. The Daily Telegraph reports that the soldier and his counterparts were unhurt.



That's what I call unfiltered (except by some desert camo) communications.

I wonder if the U. S. military considers this a disciplinary problem.

Ciao,
Bob.
