The guy who would "know ahead of time when the phone was going to ring" (so we're told) reminds me of a letter published in an issue of Electronics Illustrated many years ago. I can't remember the name of the guy who wrote the column -- he was a really sarcastic fellow whose first name (I think) was "Tom". (I think the column was called "Uncle Tom" or some such. Anybody remember?) Anyway, somebody wrote in a letter that ran something like: "Dear Uncle Tom, I have this unusual problem. Sometimes I can hear telephone conversations in my head. I hear the dialing, ringing, the called party answering the phone and everything! What should I do?" Uncle Tom's response was: "Get an unlisted head." --Lauren--
