Nokia cables saves family’s Christmas trek home

Here’s a pretty cool narration of how “Nokia strong” headphone jackets from a 7610 can work for a makeshift knot to tie the muffler back to the chassis of a car:
My son Henry had gotten a kite for Christmas, so I asked him if I could use the string. He was willing, but was understandably not too happy about the prospect. I cursed myself for not having any duct tape in the car — what kind of self-respecting man doesn’t carry duct tape with him at all times? My wife rifled through the glove compartment and held up a long wire and asked “what about this?” It was a wireline headphone jacket from around 2005 or so. I think I got it with my 7610. Perfect length, and built Nokia strong (source)
Way cool really. This happened to me once and I was able to use double sided tape to fix the exhaust before any real repairs could be made.

I always have similar headsets and chargers for my old Nokia phones in my car’s glovebox. I guess I’ll leave them there as they might come in handy. I do have ductape in my car. Nice post!
