Wow! He's actually taking them from the press room and throwing them to someone in the back office!

Classic!

2. Yep. He looked like he was getting pissed. Laughed it off a bit, but he was heated.
Seriously, it's ridiculous. Three phones in less than two mins ringing loudly. One guy got up and walked out and got clowned as being on the phone with his banker buddies since he was wearing his pin-striped suit! HAHAHHA. Pwned by Gibbs.

3. Good for Gibbs!
That is so irritating to be talking to someone and they have to stop to look at who's calling...not to mention actually talk to them while you are standing there waiting.

I've gotten to the point where I walk away.

6. Why is this funny?
How is this funny? Talking about something serious and people purposely making their cell phones ring to get their 15 seconds on national TV or to make their "pals" laugh.. How is this funny? It makes America look like a joke. Really shows how bad this country is being led and how America is in shambles. But yeah, haha, funny.

Im going to have my 2 year old take my cell phone to school and have it ring non-stop, and make his pals laugh. And when the teachers ask what his problem is, hes going to say "I saw people that were getting paid $100,000+ a year to report a serious matter doing the same thing??"

8. I was talking about Gibbs and how he handled it.
He takes the guy's phone away and throws it to someone in the next room.
