this cell phone discussion reminds me of a completely true story.
i was in a musical when I was 16, called Li'l Abner (based on the comic strip). one of the characters, General Bullmoose did a rant about how the world wasn't the same as it used to be...called "Progress is the Root of All Evil". During a part of this song he lists the various modern evils, and we had adjusted it to fit into the year 2000. While in the middle of the song on of the last nights of the show, a cell phone rang in the middle of the otherwise quiet audience. it kept ringing and ringing. the ower dind't turn it off. then it rang again. while the phone was ringin it came to the part where Bullmoose listed off vaious evils of modern society, and in a loud ringing voice he yedlled "cell phones". i had never heard an audience cheer or laugh like that in the middle of the song (keep in mind that many of the audience members saw the show more than once during the 2 week run and knew that was a new addition to the song). i will never forget that moment.
end of story. my point is that you should always turn your cell phone off, or at least your ringer...you may end up being embarassed in front of over 200 strangers.
