In my dating years I used to say you could tell a lot by a guy by the books he kept at eye level on his bookshelf. What does a ring tone tell you about a person? We went around a table the other night, filled mostly with younger folk, each announcing their ring tone: theme from Halloween, old fashioned telephone ring, one that went "wah wah wah wah wha," and one who leaves hers on vibrate (got some snickers from the guys, go figure).
The discussion shifted to annoying ring tones: Fur Elise (oh that repetition), Who Let the Dogs Out, and a woman who recorded her young child screeching "Mom, get your phone, you phone is ringing, nowwww" (nails on a chalkboard).
My ring tone history: a chicken sound (affectionately called my bucking phone), New York New York (my birthplace), calming chimes (early menopause) and now a cheerful ditty called "Happy." I guess that's a good thing.

Three pretty dishclothes in my current favourite colour:
