If my phone rings while I'm driving, I will either hand the phone to my
wife or pull over to the side of the road and stop. Since I hit
retirement age, I don't get very many phone calls on my mobile phone!

While I was working I would pull over to the right side with blinkers on
and either answer my phone or, my page.

One evening, I was driving home from the roller skating, my pager went
off just as I turned onto the On-Ramp. If that wasn't enough, a police
patrol car pulled up behind me at the bottom of the on-ramp and wanted
to know if I had a problem. Thanks officer, I now have two problems. <sigh>
