Oh, you meant DAMN....

Whew... had me scared there for a minute. I thought they were trying to sell you Hoover Dam or something... I was thinking "what will they think of next?"

You could always try this:

Telemarketer - Hello could we talk to Mr. or Mrs. -----?

You - Can you call back later I am in the process of murdering my ex-wife. Then you can talk to Mr. -----

Telemarketer - dooh...

 

See below:

When they call asking for Mr or Mrs.....
Ask who is calling. When they answer, tell them you are Detective Jones from the ______(Insert your town) Police Dept and that you have called a crime scene. They hang up rather quickly

 

We must be brothers...

We both have silver flaresides. Except your the brother that makes the HUGE, BIG bucks because yours is a Lighting and mine is a 4.2 dooh...

 

well...
My solution is an unlisted number with caller ID. So the bottom line is if the phone rings and I don't know the name - I don't answer. And to top it off: My machine answers in French!!!

Now as much as the french have pissed me off lately... this seems to work.

People that "know" me will leave a message. Telemarketers hang up.

Sometimes I can here them in the background... "Its sounds like a foreign language. What should I do.... click"

 

I hope you make more than me....Iam unemployed for the past two months

 

You could always pull an Ozzy Osborne on them:

Hello, hello, hello, hello, hellllllooooo, anyone there, hello, hello, hello, hello, ais wha iams eras idh hello, hello, hello...

 

SHARON......................LOL

 

The Best $1.95 / Month I have ever spent: Privacy Director. We got this service about 8 months ago and I bet I can count the number of telemarketing calls we have received at home on one hand. It simply does not let them through. Ask you local service provider about it. I think it was $4-5 bucks by itself but only $1.95 as part of a package that includes caller ID, call waiting, etc.

 

it also helps to change your number to a new unlisted number every few months <grin>

 

me and a buddy were hanging out when the phone rings

friend: hello
att: do you currently own a cell phone sir?
friend: cell phone?
att: yes a cell phone sir.
friend: what is a cell phone?
att: a cellular phone sir?
friend: tell me more about this cellular phone, it sounds interesting.
