Subject: RE: BS: Cell phones, opinions
In our company, you must turn your cell phone off during meetings, conferences, or training classes.
If your cell phone rings during one of the above, you have to stand in front of
the group and sing I'm A Little Teapot.
At our annual company conference this year, the president of the company,
who was sitting in the front of a gathering of over 500, had his cell phone ring.
He got on stage and sang I'm a Little Teapot.

This winter, I was stranded on a highway when the alternator went out in my car.
I was in a signal area and able to call my Insurance company on the cell phone.
They called the nearest city where a tow truck could drive out and tow me in.
The sun went down and I sat for hours in the cold and dark before the truck found me.
No one passing by stopped to see what was wrong of if I needed help.
I'm glad I had that cell phone and it worked.
