Killer phone bills


That's it, first killer alarm clocks and now killer phone bills. India123, a bastion of reporting integrity, tells us that a Yemeni man clutched his heart and screamed
"I'm coming Elizabeth, I'm coming" (ok, not really) and then "dropped dead" after seeing his cellphone bill for 28,000 riyals ($123US) — whu? That must be the equivalent purchasing power of a month's rent including a leg-shaving man servant. Anyway, it seems the man's daughter was running up the bill talking to her fiancé even after the mother had to
"sell her jewelry" to pay for the previous bill. Damn those meddling kids!
