Cell phone ringtones

I don't have a cell phone because I cherish and hold fast to my outmoded idea that it makes people look insane. Also, I quite dislike talking to people on the phone. Can't they just pop over to the library if they want to talk to me? I'm here, like, half the time! Nevertheless I started musing upon what ringtone I would like if I did have a cell phone. I don't know why I started musing on this, but, as a daily blogger, musing on pretty much anything mainlines right into a blog post. And here we are. This is that blog post!

So here is my list of ringtones for my phone. Can I just have them go off as kind of random choice ringtones? You plethora of cell phone users out there would have to advise on that. Maybe I can skip the phone and just get a little speaker that periodically plays these ringtone sounds from my pocket.

 1. Help, I'm trapped in this guy's pocket! Help, I'm trapped in this guy's pocket! Help, I'm trapped in this guy's pocket!

 2. (Sound of toaster springing up toast, followed by extended sequence of the frothing of milk)

 3. Hi! It's me! I'm in my car and should be there in (Horrific sound of massive car accident).

4. (Sad defeatist voice saying) Oh, it's just me, don't bother answering. I don't have anything worth saying anyway.

 5. (Generic musical ringtone that accelerates in speed, hits a high pitched screech, and ends in an electrically fizzy pop of self destruction)

6. (Alarmingly loud) I'm in the Library! I'm in the Library! I'm in the Library! I'm in the Library! I'm in the Library! I'm in the Library! I'm in the Library! I'm in the Library! I'm in the Library! I'm in the Library! I'm in the Library! (Never ever turned off).

    Dear Mr. Library Blogger Clerk Man: I have a cell phone. It has some music from Brahams that's very upbeat...it's from Violin Concerto in D, 3 Allegro Gicoso. Please listen to it sometime and perhaps it can be your ringtone as well

    A person whistling a song and "Asshole calling! Asshole calling!" are examples of ringtones I've heard at my library.

    I sometimes remember to carry my cell phone. It has a generic ring tone that came with it; I rarely hear this ringtone because a) I rarely have the phone turned on and b) very few people have the number. I wanted a hooting owl ringtone, but my phone doesn't talk to the internet, so I can't download one.

If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.

I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!

One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
