   For my co-workers, I use "The Liberty Bell March" aka the theme to Monty   
   Python. For general calls, a version of the Dr Who theme works. For my   
   wife, I use Picard as Locutus's speech I am Locutus of Borg, Resistance   
   is futile,..." the whole thing.   
      
   What do others use besides the standard ringtones?
