Recently we unplugged our phone. Then, after the phone sat powerless and unplugged for a certain amount of time, we plugged it back in. That's all we did. And somehow, between unplugging it and plugging it back in, the phone reset its ring tone. Now instead of going BloooBloooBlooo, the phone goes BringleBringleBringle. And when the phone goes BringleBringleBringle, one of us will find the phone and answer it. And of course, this is not interesting at all, except that now the dog doesn't bark anymore when the phone rings.
I said, now the dog doesn't bark anymore when the phone rings.
IT'S A MIRACLE!
You have no idea what it's like to live with a dog that barks maniacally everytime the phone rings unless you live with a dog that barks maniacally everytime the phone rings.
Imagine, if you will:
ring BARKBARKBARKBARK! rinBARKBARKBARK! riBARKBARKBARKBARK!
It's like getting two noises for the price of one.
And if things are really going bad and our nerves are really frayed (probably because of the dog barking) we can squeeze three noises out of each phone ring, like this:
ringBARKSTOPITLUCKY! ringBARKSTOPITBARKGODDAMNITLUCKY ringBARKSTOPPPBARKKKINGG Hello?
But now, all is quiet on our telecommunications front. The phone rings. The phone rings some more. One of us calmly walks to the phone while it rings again. "Hello," one of us calmly says.
These are halycon days.
