My phone has a real loud ring tone because, I walk a lot with music in my ears.
One time, I was at a funeral, and forgot to shut the phone off....
I was just about to go outside to turn it off because even the noise it makes while shutting down (a Telus) would disturb the service, when the light came on.
I just took out the bloody battery.....

That would be the highlight of the performance. I would never have that problem because I would never be dragged into a place like that as long as I am breathing.
Didn't even know a fiddle could be made to sound that bad.

Here is a little story that probably only Roman Catholics will understand.....
I was about 18 or 19 at the time and had gone with my cousin on the Saturday evening Easter candle lighting ceremony, the hour before the Midnight Mass.
In that ceremony, which at the time was held at the back of the church, and there is practically no lights in the church, The big candle is decorated by the priest, then it is lit first then they light all the other candles of the altar boys with that light, which is then passed on to everyone in the church.
Now a prerequisite of that ceremony is that the original light must comes from the "stone" or a flint and a lighter covers that.
My cousin and I were in the last pew, where I usually sat....The priest had forgot his lighter, and knew I smoked, so he came to ask me for mine.....I promptly lied and told him I forgot mine at home and kicked my cousin so he would keep his mouth shut.
When the priest had finally found one and was far enough away, my cousin asked me why I had lied.
When I took my lighter out and showed it to him, he understood and we had a hard time keeping from laughing all through Mass, because the priest was an old man and not a good sport.
My lighter was one of those, with a windup chime thingy that played a tune every time it was lit. And this one gave a good version of "How dry I am, How dry I am"

As to finding out about me, or anyone for that matter, there's tons of information all over this forum. Every time someone shares a thought, idea, opinion it reveals something. A glimpse of personality, a hint of sense of humour or attitude. Often it can reveal more than is intended as well.
For me, that's more than half the fun in coming here. Online people watching, lol. (See, there's a little revelation for ya, I'm something of cyber-voyeur.

Well, I didn't see one!
I know some information, but not too much of the "juicy tidbits" variety(not including this thread and the Mountain Dew one, of course
). I'll try to wrangle some out of you. Will pizza-flavoured beer help?+1
