How about having a Cuckoo clock feature on all mobiles and pagers that is not on the menus and only cuts in when you leave your phone on in places where you shouldn't, (Theatres, Lectures, Libraries etc). These places could be fitted with a remote trigger device to ensure that the function kicks in. Just think, no more embarrassment while desperately trying to stop the damned thing from playing Yankee Doodle Dandy at full volume. You won't forget it a second time; not after the little Cuckoo has shot out and headbutted you in the nads or a similar delicate region. No pain, no gain!
