Morning y’all
. . . . . Didja Know?
An Oklahoma man who lost his iPhone last year just received a phone call that it had turned up - halfway
around the world in Japan

“The man on the other end said, ‘is this Kevin Whitney?’ I said yeah this is Kevin. He said, ‘did you lose a
cell phone?’ I said yeah I lost a cell phone last fall.”


Evidently when the Oklahoman was at work, he bent over and his phone fell into a grain pit and disappeared
into 280,000lbs of grain. The grain was then driven by truck from Chickasha to another grain facility in Inola.
It then traveled along the Arkansas River and down the Mississippi to Louisiana, where it was put on a ship
bound for Kashima, Japan. A worker at the grain mill found it, made the call and then mailed it back to its
owner in Oklahoma.
