This totally happened in our stake conference Saturday night session. The speaker was a doctor who was on call. He thought he'd be safe for the ten minutes he was supposed to speak, but about two minutes in his phone went off. He turned from the microphone and took the message and then finished his talk.
I think we can be at least a little forgiving of people who might well be getting actual emergencies. :)
I remember one time hearing about someone's phone ringing in the sealing room at the Temple (why they even HAD their phone in there is beyond me), and the sealer snapping "tell them we're busy!" Totally on the sealer's side on that one.
As a teacher, I'm always telling students "Tell them you'll call back after class!"
Then of course one day my husband called when I was teaching. I explained to the class that he'd gone to a job interview so was calling when he got the chance, and they shouted "Good Luck, Alex!" in perfect unison at him.
My work appears regularly in both The New Era and The Friend. I have published several books and contribute regularly to the LDS Coloring Book app. With LDS Mobile Apps, I developed the LDS Scripture Hero app. A collection of my work can be found in the free LDS Laughs app.

Those doctors are always being pestered by their accountants and golfing buddies.
ReplyDeleteI love the expressions on the guys behind him.
