RE: Funny story
On the other hand...
As someone who works in outside sales, it's a complete blessing. I keep it in my front shirt pocket, or somewhere handy, and either keep it on vibrate or just check it every once in a while for new voice messages.
Unless it's my boss, who calls less than once every two months, I know I'm good to go. Everybody else can wait 'til the next day. If it was a true emergency, they can leave a voice mail. You don't know how many voice mails I've checked from 20' up.
I figure it gave me an extra 60-70 hunting trips this past year. And, yep, you're right; I don't see near as many customers during hunting season.
