Bad Ringtone Choices:
"Wonderful World"
The Lyrics: Don't know much about history;
Don't know much biology; Don't know much about a science book; Don't know much about the French I took. (also) Don't know much about geography; Don't know much trigonometry; Don't know much about algebra; Don't know what a slide rule is for. Why: This ringtone would doom a candidate at an interview for a teaching position.
