I’ve always wished I had a thing
That could stop a cell phone’s call
Especially those with loud speakers
That can be heard by one and all.

Those people, inconsiderate
Who seem to want the world to know
All of their business, (like we cared)
No matter, wherever they go.

You’d think they were still kiddies
With two cans tied to a string
Who have to shout across the room
So we can all hear everything.

Now I find there is a "jammer"
That some say, "It’s against the law!"
But it might be worth it to shut up
Those calls that get stuck in my craw.

Some assault on their battery
And a blockage of reception
Might make them loudmouths realize
They’re the object of rejection.

To just knock the cell out of them
Everytime they try to hit redial
Might be worth a little jail time
For some peace and quiet for awhile.

hehehe

I see you feel the same as me

I have a cell but if I'm out, I have it set where it just beeps once, not to disturb anyone. And I have caller ID so if they don't leave a message on voicemail I can call them back when I get to a place where my conversation won't be heard

I do believe my cell is off
more than its on.
Very clever, Abe!

(giggles) I stay away from cell phones as much as possible too! I just find it sad how they have slowly diminished regular face-to-face conversation in society and I just find hearing it as it is from someones lips without the silicon village trademark always sounds the most enduring! (sigh) Plus T-Mobile and other cell-phone companies have been acting up and opening ones private address books to the world like Fred Durst's and Lindsay Lohan's! This is wonderful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Abe, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

AMEN!! Ugh... but it is sort of funny sometimes to sit at the mall or on the bus and just listen to a conversation. The only reason I'd get a cell would be because I'm horrible with directions and also know nothing about cars, and being a young girl I don't want to be stranded or lost with no way to contact anyone. Now the next pet peeve... loud gum chewers!!
