I've never owned a mobile phone, but I have seen the mini-opera <u>The Telephone</u> by Gian Carlo Menotti (the guy who wrote <u>Amahl and The Night Visitors</u>, appropriate for the season!).
My wife laughs every time she sees my (cell/mobile) phone bill. If you want your own wives to join the fun, sms me at +47.93248331 to say you've read this.
