polarised light :-)]

Subject: Problems with your car phone ?

If your car phone display appears to be totally black, then check the
following before calling your service provider.

	Twist your head through 90deg in the vertical plane as this
	may enable your polaroid sunglasses to let the appropriate
	light beams through.

This has been verified by the owner of a red Subaru rollerskate, who called
the service provider first!  (And then had to cancel the service call...)
