H.E. has decided that there is only one good thing about The Sopranos<\/a> having ended: he no longer has to be snorked by Tony Soprano’s cell phone ringing, which matched H.E.’s cell phone ring tone exactly. Whenever Tony’s henchmen called, H.E. reached for his phone.<\/p>\n

Not nice.<\/p>\n

People might say that H.E. should simply have changed his ring tone, but it really isn’t all that easy. H.E. and I are two of a kind; we both can’t stand all those weird, unusual ring tones packed with way too much annoying personality or MIDI-like mood. He picks the least irritating ring readily available on his phone, as do I, and we’re perfectly happy doing so.<\/p>\n

However, if the right ring tones were available, our phones would probably be singing a different tune. There is one ring tone that H.E. is dying to get for his phone, but we don’t know that it’s actually available. He found a sound file for it online, but he hasn’t been able to find a way to get it on the phone itself.<\/p>\n

What does it sound like? According to H.E., it’s the sound of the President’s assistant’s phone ring in the movie Our Man Flint<\/a>. Appropriate for his personality as he’s a news and political junkie who really knows his stuff.<\/p>\n

For myself, H.E. and I discussed appropriate ring tones, melodies that would match my personality like no other. We came up with three.<\/p>\n

One is that circus clown song that they usually play when the clowns are exiting by the hundreds out of a tiny car.<\/p>\n

Another is the Looney Tunes<\/a> theme song, right before Porky Pig declares, “That’s All, Folks!”<\/p>\n

And yet another is the Wallace and Gromit<\/a> theme song.<\/p>\n

The people around me are probably very lucky that I don’t bother searching those three ring tones out and have stuck with one of the default rings on my mobile.<\/p>\nShare this post:
