Here’s an idea that’s circulating: Create an entry in your cell phone directory for “ICE” (“In Case of Emergency”) where you list the number you want a paramedic to call if she finds your inert body on a sidewalk. For mltiple numbers, create either “ICE1” and “ICE2” entires, or “ICE-Spouse,” “ICE-Mom” and “Ice-Jack Bauer” entries.

Yes, if you lose your cell phone you’ve told evil doers who you care about most. No, the idea that paramedics are starting to look for ICE numbers is not a mere urban myth.
