On Cellphone Ringers

Have I mentioned recently how much I hate customized cellphone ringers? When I become Emperor of the World, use of such devices shall constitute yet another in a long list of flogging offenses.

It's bad enough to hear classical warhorses being digitally butchered.

But someone down the hall from me just rigged their phone to play the opening chords of "Should I Stay Or Should I Go" and now I can't get the damn tune out of my head. (Here's the download link. I dare ya.)

YIPS from Steve: My favorite one of these was some dude on Amtrak about a year or so ago---he had his programmed to sound like an old 1950s style Ma Bell phone----that solid and metalic BBBBRRRRRINNNNG that those big old black heavy metal phones would make. Scared the bejeebus out of me because I thought for sure I was having some sort of flashback.

As Ron said to Harry, hearing things other people don't is generally a bad sign in their world as well as ours.
