Asked whether they would give up their cell phone or their "significant other," 44 percent of American men said the sweetheart would go before the phone,

I find that hard to believe.

I would have thought that 44 percent of American women would prefer their phone to their man. Actually, it’s probably more like 90%.

I have and use the ‘Infadel’ ringtone. That’s the way it is spelled, in case you want to search for it.

Here in Oklahoma, when it rings in public, most people laugh at it. It is funny.

(”Hello Infidel, phone ringing, Infidel, pick up the phone, it could be Allah calling. Pick up the phone before it blows up.” Or something like that.)

“Some people are opting to be buried with their cell phones”

According to my plan, I would be charged more as I would be “out of area.”
