This reminds me of a story. It is a story my father told me, and he does have a tendency to exagerate, so the truth may be slightly less amusing then the story I now tell you.
My father is a doctor and as such has had a pager for most of his career. Early versions actually let you send a voice message (http://www.visiplex.com/reseller/rph.htm) over the pager (neat, eh?) which would be played when the message was recived.
My mother and father were invited that Sunday morning to the church my aunt regularly attended, where the preaching was rather "fire and brimstone"y. The pastor worked himself up into quite a rage of rightious indignation.
Pastor: "And who, who would DARE to DEFY the ALMIGHTY GOD!?!" Da's Pager: "BEEP - BEEP - DOCTOR PARR'S-DAD"
Looks like the guest evangelist rolled a Divine Intervention, which just happened to be Jean paying attention... ;> And I can tell ya from personal experience, you do not want Jean paying attention!
