heh these were good.

The onely one Ir eally knew about was the phone dial tone being in the key of F. My fiance always tunes her guitar to the dial tone. I once asked her why,a nd she explained it to me. SHe said when she was in choir, she often has to practice in rooms without a piano and she ddn't have a pitch pipe, so one day she took the time ti learn what jey the dial tone was, so that she could always pitch-in to the phone.

Useless of course, unless you're a singer or a guitarist :)
