Even the rich and famous are put on-hold.

It's not just the common-folk that pleasure of being put on-hold. Yes, celebrities too, are asked to hold.

Years ago, during the Martha Stewart trial, the topic of her Merrill Lynch's music on-hold actually surfaced. In fact, reports say, Stewart was so frustrated with the on-hold music that she threatened to actually fire the company as her broker if the music wasn't improved.

We've reached out to Merrill Lynch for comment and to offer our services, and are still awaiting their response. Rest assured, if Martha, the queen of pies, linens, and holiday decorations, heard something productive and useful while on-hold (say, for example, trading laws ) she might not have been so distraught.

Gotta run, the apple pie is starting to burn...
