I have on my bulletin board here a yellowing editorial cartoon (frlom 
2002, drawn by Matt Davies of the Westchester Journal News) showing a 
guy yelling into a cell phone, which reads as follows...

"Yes....hello, I'm calling to voice my outrage at your plan to construct 
a new cell tower in my neighborhood..."

"I SAID...I'm calling to complain about a cell tower you're...hello??"

"Yes, the CELL TOWER...I said I'm opposed to...Hello???"

(thought bubble) "@*#! cell phone reception!"

Which pretty much says it all.
