Marx--"Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar." And sometimes that ringtone is nothing more than a ringtone. It doesn't say anything more to the world then "your phone is ringing." I'll be l'chav z'chus that the man at minyan was embarrassed because he forgot to turn off the phone while he was davening rather than because of the way the phone sounded.<br /><br />I've got a Latin rhythm ringtone on my phone also because after much experimenting it was the only ringtone I could clearly hear when the phone was in my purse and I was concentrating on some activity like shopping, with competing sounds in the store. If people presume they have a portrait of me thanks to that ringtone, well, it wouldn't be the first time or the last that people were wrong.ProfKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17954446826821665314noreply@blogger.com
