I hope to hell that you don't get an emergency medical phone
call while you're playing games with the phone.

The phone is a piece of equipment which I am paying for. I want
to select whomever is using it. With the phone laying idlely on
a table, it is out of my control until I -repeat- I HANG IT UP.
