THIS SOUNDS LIKE A SMART THING TO DO~~~~

Paramedics will turn to a victim's cell phone for clues to that person's identity. You can make their job much easier with a simple idea that they are trying to get everyone to adopt: ICE.

ICE stands for In Case of Emergency. If you add an entry in the contacts list in your cell phone under ICE, with the name and phone no. of the person that the emergency services should call on your behalf, you can save them a lot of time and have your loved ones contacted quickly. It only takes a few moments of your time to do. Paramedics know what ICE means and they look for it immediately. ICE your cell phone NOW!

Please pass this one along.

I've got that crap in my wallet. My mom forced me to put it there.

[kcfan88]

That's a good idea! Everyone carries a cell nowadays.

[JBucc]

lies!!!!

[Mecca]

They'll go searching through my phone and find the porn on there.....

[Saulbadguy]

My dealers name is ICE. I can't participate in this forwarded email request.

[Bugeater]

I prefer to remain anonymous.

[Spott]

I would do that, but Ice Cube is a personal friend of mine and I would hate for him to get erroneous emergency calls from some paramedic.

Did she also stitch your name in your spiderman undies?

[CosmicPal]

Uh, why would they need this?

Ok...let's say you're lying on the ground after being attacked by an angry giraffe who saw you looking at his girlfriend's neck. The paramedics come and they locate your wallet and it says, Jack Meoff. Then they discover your cell phone. All they would need to do for Jack is to go to his Contacts in his Address Book and simply call random numbers. Or better yet, Jack might have a sister in his address book under the name, Jill Meoff. They would just call her, and of course she'll say, "Let him rot."

The point is- every cell phone has an Address Book in it. It would be easier and quicker for them to just call someone in your Address Book, then it would be to look and see if by some miracle- you have it listed under ICE.

Anyone mama tells to do anything still has their name stitched in all of their undies, not just the spidey ones.

[DaFace]

Not QUITE false, but certainly not looked for by paramedics everywhere. Looks to be more of a European thing.

Different strokes?

[HMc]

Personally if im in a state requiring paramedic attention, i want them to take me to hospital and give me medical treatment, not f*ck around calling my mum and telling her all about it. that can wait.

[4th and Long]

Why would they need this? No one listed in my cell phone contact list is medically qualified to save my life.

What good is this ICE thing going to do? Aren't these people smart enough to scroll through my cell phone and match the name on my operators license with the names in my cell phone?

What if my cell phone is destroyed in this accident? OH NO! No one will be able to identify who I am or find out who my relatives are!

Technology is over rated.

If they can't find out your name, they have to treat you as an indigent patient, and then you don't have to pay.

[jspchief]

Jesus. There are a lot of moronic comments in this thread.

[OldTownChief]

Screw it, Chiefs suck anyway [/Logical]

[Bugeater]

Now that I think about it, I'm going to start locking my keypad. I don't want those guys using up my peak airtime minutes.

[Simplex3]

This will all be so much easier when they tatoo a barcode on our foreheads and/or drop an RFID tag in our necks. Then I won't have to worry myself with having valid contact info for emergencies in my wallet.

[Rain Man]

Jesus. There are a lot of moronic comments in this thread.

Y'know, that would be a good signature quote.

[cdcox]

I don't carry a cell phone, so instead I'm working on becoming famous.

Have you considered confessing to the JonBenet murder?

[Simplex3]

Have you considered confessing to the JonBenet murder?
Daaaaaamn...

[cdcox]

Have you considered confessing to the JonBenet murder?

See, now you're thinking. I bet more paramedics know who that creepy high-waisted pants guy is than know to look for ICE.

[Rain Man]

Plus you can travel anywhere in the world for half-price, with a free business class airline seat home.

[cdcox]

Don't for get the get out of the Bangkok jail free card.

[Sully]

You don't know life till you've had a good Jill Meoff.

[ChiefsFire]

its becoming rather popular on this side of the pond...have actually found it very helpful on 3 occasions in the last year or so....

on most of the newer phones you need to place a . before ICE so it shows up at the top of your contact list,otherwise it will be buried down the list in the I s.....this may not be the case on all phones

[ChiefaRoo]

"I prefer to be an enigma..........like the chink!"

As is your concept of what is over rated.

As is your ability to use common things like:
razors
combs
and a Toothbrush.

And all of that from your personal picture on your avatar!

If you believe that is really me in my avatar, I have to question which one of us is the truly technically challenged.

Ah, I see. Void of humor.

[Hammock Parties]

Jehovah's Witnesses carry a NO BLOOD card.

[eChief]

Jehovah's Witnesses carry a NO BLOOD card.

They want no blood, or they don't to give any?

[Hammock Parties]

Both.

[Saulbadguy]

Both.
What if they don't see it, and give him blood? Is he kicked out?

[Hammock Parties]

Probably not. Most JWs are weenies.

[Skip Towne]

I'm not gonna do it. They'll just have to fingerprint me and match 'em up against their prison records.

.I am sure that CSI will be able to run your bug juice through COTUS and get a match.

State or federal?

[Calcountry]

Probably not. Most JWs are weenies.Is your mother a JW?

I use to have a friend who liked Star Wars a lot back in the late 70's. His mom was a JW, and he went off after he grew up.
