My cell phone has a voice dial feature as with many other cell phones.
"Please say a command," the animated female voice says.
Call John Doe, I speak.
"[Some silence]...did you say 'call...[monotone voice] John Doe' ?"

On several ocassions the lady asks me to repeat my response, because on serveral ocassions I find myself getting needlessly excited in my reply and saying something along the lines of "HELLZ YEA, SON!" or "You bet your sweet ass."

Cell phones ought to be less cold and be programmed for these kind of responses.
