Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for October 22, 2012

Hoo boy!

There are so many things that sound like my cell. That I’m checking it like that. Although I never blocked traffic!

Not me of course….I just try to answer the TV remote…change channels with my mouse…left the house the other day with my cordless phone in my pocket…yeah yeah… I had my cell phone too.My cell phone has a ringtone that sounds like every other phone at the supermarket…we ALL reach into our pockets…and the garbage truck beeps like my microwave….

I know the feeling Susan, the other morning I tried to answer our garbage truck.

again with dim bulb Arlo! what! he can’t remember what his ringtone sounds like? he has never heard a truck going in reverse? unless the truck was a block away you could never mistake the annoying backup warning sound of a truck for your phone.

So at his mailbox and how did he come behind a truck all of a sudden? Shouldn’t have a stealth driver that I know of :)

Love Susan Sunshine

I changed all the batteries in the smoke detectors before I figured out my cell was beeping because its battery was low.

I keep changing my ringtone….drives my wife nuts! .“Is that your phone?……that’s an annoying sound…change it now!’’.“Yes, dear!” (Only 248 more tones to go.)

This comic made me laugh out loud. When I’m in a group of people and a phone starts ringing, it is fun to watch everyone start grabbing pockets and purses. I don’t think anyone knows their own ringtone, they are just programmed to answer any ring. I don’t carry a phone.

I think half the techies I know have smart phones with that traditional ring! —

My ringtone is the "William Tell Overture’. You can imagine the alert looks I get when it goes off. lol

I’m probably the last to notice, but it appears that Arlo still has a “dumb” flip phone, like a few of us other middle-aged geezers. Nice detail, Johnson. Haha.

There’s a bird that sometimes makes a very steady “beep” sound in our yard at regularly spaced intervals. The first time I heard it I thought for sure it was a smoke alarm battery alert.

I just installed a Tardis ringtone on my iPhone. If I heard a real one instead, that would be really interesting.

I don’t do stuff like trying to answer the microwave, but sometimes I put the next comic I want to see, in the “Comment on this Strip” box. Then I’ll click on"Submit," and the name of the strip appears as my comment. I delete it quickly, hoping that no one else has seen it.

Didn’t the Doctor leave the handbrake on, resulting in that sound?
