Ring Tones

In this age of technology, you can hear the most popular and inane tunes when a phone rings. In fact, you can typically hear an obsure tune play instead of the typical electronic rings on a cell that you used to hear when they first came out. What I'm puzzled about is the inablilty to actually program a recorded voice to play back that's linked to caller ID. Invention (you heard it hear first) alert: Why don't they set up a way so when a caller calls, a voice prompts you that "it's your battle axe of a mother-in-law calling, please ignore the fat tub of goo!" or the more telling "it's your sexy nymphomanic girlfriend, drop everything and answer before she changes her mind!" Imagine the possibilities, if your boss calls: "Mr. arrogant bastard is checking up on his minions, better answer and break out the chapstick because he's gonna need a kiss-up" or the bill collector: "thank you sir, may I have another!"

There can be no end to the creative madness!

I really hate to tell you this but there are already cell phones on the market that do exactly what you described. By the way, the "ring tone" I've assigned to you never fails to get a laugh.

You must have selected the tune that mimics a fart. With the amount of gas that you typically expel in a day, you must be reaching for your phone a lot of of plain confusion. Is it real or is it Nathan?

In fact, it's a gas. Just remember, I'm the natural.
