**Details:** A friend of mine has specific ring tones for his ex wife. I cannot recall at the moment what they are ( songs I’ve never heard of, but I live in a cave.) but there were several of us trying to come up with fresh songs that she hears when she calls him. It irritates her to no end ( deservedly so.) . Her crimes against him are grievious, documented and too long to list. (and not my laundry to air.) All I could come up with was the polka song: I don’t want her, you can have her she’s too fat for me. Any thing goes. ---

**Soul Coughing** did a song called Paint. It’s got an ugly, angry, sludgy sound, and the lyrics go, _I know you’re dumb as, I know you’re dumb as, I know you’re dumb as paint._ One of my life goals is to not inspire anyone to write a song like that about me. ---

Huh? Do you hear the ring tone of the person you’re calling? I thought the caller heard a normal ring and the ring tone served only to annoy people within a one-mile radius of the callee. (I’ve never had a cell phone and I don’t make many calls to cell phones.) ---

A friend of mine has his phone set up so that I hear Green Day’s _Church on Sunday_ when I call him, even though everyone else hears some heinous country soung. ---
