NormF Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 I'm debating whether to put this in the Humor section or here. But since I see Amelia's posts here almost as much as there, well, this will do. an excerpt from the op-ed page of yesterday's local paper: "The cell phone companies are getting their money back with the sale of ring tones. [He's speaking of their newfound beneficence in allowing you to roll over the minutes you've already bought. So sweet of them, huh?] "You can now get rock songs, classical music, just about anything to anounce to the world that you have an incoming phone call. "This was done because cell phones just weren't obnoxious enough. It's not bad enough I have to listen to private phone conversations in every public venue, I also have to have a warning system to prepare me to listen to the call. "I propose that all cell ring tones be banned except for the sound of flatulence. When someone gets a phone call and the phone releases the sound of a whoopee cushion the size of a waterbed, you won't have to tell them to turn them off at concerts and plays." by Dave Yoder Copyright 2005, Sioux City (Iowa) Journal ... Or at church too maybe? Regards, Norm Quote Debile fundamentum, fallit opus. - "Where there is a weak foundation, the work falls." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 Maybe your post should have gone on the DEVIENT BEHAVIOR thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormF Posted July 15, 2005 Author Share Posted July 15, 2005 Yoder is our local Dave Barry. As such, he's occasionally subject to fits of intemperance (in his words!). But I do understand his sentiments. I have a quiet line on the subject at the bottom of a page in our church bulletin; it works well.

Michelle Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 I love the idea of a sound of flatulence. Of course, riding on the MTR here in HK, it would sound as though EVERYONE had been eating beans for breakfast! I laugh thinking about it!
