Just today my daughter was showing hogs at a a stock show, where every 
few minutes someone's phone was ringing. The husband of one woman who 
happened to be sitting beside me came over to her an asked for her 
phone so that he could turn up the volume of the ringer.  He then 
stood there beside her and called her phone from his to listen to it 
ring.  It seems that there should be some places we should be able to 
go without having to listen to other people's phones. My husband keeps 
a phone in his pickup for emergencies since he has to drive 70 miles 
to work everyday, but he never turns it on unless he needs to call 
someone. He doesn't even know his own number.  If he wants to give it 
to someone, he has to ask me for the number, and then I have to 
scratch around in my purse to find it.  

By the way, I am not sure I have ever heard anyone talk on a cell 
phone quietly. ;-)

Professor Phlash - cell phoneless and proud of it!
