Are you too timid to say "no" to telemarketing calls? Sharper Image
has just the thing for you -- a phone with built-in sound effects.
"Time to hit one of the eight sound effects buttons on your new
transparent phone from Fun Products. You press 'crying baby,' and
both you and the caller hear the digitalized wail of a tiny tyke."
Only $89.

On a *completely* *different* topic -- are there any laws regulating just how loud one can be on the phone? I would think that the telephones, at least the original AT&T ones, just wouldn't put too large an amplitude on the line. But I thought I'd ask ... Frederick G. M.
