#8 Box of frogs mental they are. They would like my ringtone on my cell phone. It is Curly of the Three Stooges going, "Woob-woob-woob-woob-woob-woob-woob!!!

Forgot to silence it at a State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) meeting once. 12 people sitting around the table, meeting started, then my cell phone went off, heh, and it brought down the house.

#10 Easy to solve: require all phones in Iraq to use the same ringtone. The sound of a squealing pig, for example. Or Gregorian chants.

Or "Hava Nagila".
