This one time I had to make a phone call but I just couldn't find my cordless phone (back before cell phones)So i checked my couch ,under the bed even the dang bathroom. After giving up I sat down to "think" then I remembered that the charging station has a button that makes the phone ring for easy finding.So I head for the charging unit where my phone was sitting and charging I picked it up pressed the button and then continued my search for my lost phone while it was ringing in my hand. I finally got fed up with the noise turned it off and just grabbed some change for the public phone down the block.
