If You're Going To Yell, Do It In Tenor!

Thought this story deserved blogification: My wife and I have cell phones, and we have unlimited mobile-to-mobile minutes, so we talk pretty well every day at least at some point. We have been having a problem with her phone, where when she is talking to someone, it will disconnect. And it's not the cell phone service, because she can be sitting in a high-service area, and not move, and it will disconnect - this happens in almost every conversation that lasts over five minutes, and it frustrates me (and her) every time it happens. The other day I was driving on the interstate and trying to call to check my voicemail, but I was in a dead zone so I couldn't get a good signal. Then a couple of minutes later, I got in, and while checking messages I got an incoming call from my wife which I answered. We talked for a few minutes when all of a sudden I heard the *bloopity bloop* sound which means we were disconnected. I held the phone out in front of me and yelled at it - but this was no ordinary yell. It was more of an opera singing yell, and it went like "PIEEEECE OF CRAP TELEPHOOOOOONE!". After my solo, I looked at the phone and the display said: "Call Time: 01:24" and it was counting upwards. Placing the phone to my ear, I whispered a confused "hello?" to which my wife replied "ummm, hello...?" I had been disconnected from my voicemail after having taken the other call, and my wife was the unfortunate victim of my opera-singing rage.
