JennaL and I went to see The Producers at a local theatre in Salt Lake City the other night. The story was just starting to pick up, and suddenly I noticed a small glowy light to my left. No, it was not a fairy. The woman sitting next to me had pulled out her cell phone and opened it up, and exited the theatre with her cell phone at her side. At this point, my thought was, "Is someone dying? Because if someone's dying by all means leave your phone on and take calls during a theatrical production. But then again, if someone is dying, do you think that perhaps this was not the night to be going to the theatre?" I did not say it. I was very tempted to, but I did not. When the lady came back in, she sat down and commenced to tell her theatre companion all about the call in a voice that would not qualify as a whisper by anyone's definition, and her companion answered her back in what was definitely not his 3 inch voice.
Lesson Summary: When at the theatre, turning off your ringer is not enough. You must also refrain from answering the phone. You must also resist using your three foot voice. Three inch voices only.
