Lost Phone Found Inside Cod

Posted by samzenpus on from the sounds-fishy dept.

Andrew Cheatle thought his phone would be lost to the sea forever, but a week later a fisherman found it inside a 25lb cod. He was shopping for a new one with his girlfriend when her phone went off. It was the fisherman explaining what he found. "I thought he was winding me up but he assured me he had caught a cod that morning and was gutting it for his fish stall and that my Nokia was inside it -- a bit worse for wear. I didn't believe him but went to meet him and found it was my phone -- a bit smelly and battered -- but incredibly it still worked after I let it dry out," Andrew said. I think we know what the new Nokia advertising campaign should be.

    "Hold on I've got another cod....Hello? Yes, I am interested in saving on long distance! Hold on I have a Cod on the other line....Hey Bill? Yeah I'm going to have to call you back. The Cod on the other line is offering amazing deals on long distance!!! I've already saving money with Geico, now this Cod could save me even more money per month!"
