Yep, definately needs a bit about the phone....

Verily I say unto you, neither shalt thou pick up the phone when it rings, nor shalt thou play with the buttons. Thou shalt not dial 911. Thou shalt not inform the caller as to parental state of undress or occupation. Thou shalt not alter thy parent's answerphone message. Thou shalt not say thy parent is not there when they are standing next to you. Thou shalt not spend longer than 15 minutes on the telephone to any of thine associates, neither of the male or the female persuasion. Thou shalt have no dealings with the unclean chat lines, the double glazing salesmen nor the telephone survey company for these are all agents of evil. Thou shalt never answer 'yes' to any call that begins 'can you spare a few minutes to talk about insurance'
