A couple of Christmases ago my youngest daughter gave me a two-CD set
of Tom Mabe. Keeps me rolling in the floor ;-)

The best response I ever did to a telemarketer:

Keep in mind I have a deep voice and I _do_ have a southern drawl ;)

Phone rings:
Me: (fixing dinner for then 9 year old, as single dad) Hi
TM: Can I speak to the lady of the house?
Me : Speaking
Click

My standard response is to cuss them out... it's legal since I didn't
call them, they called me... so they can't claim that I'm a pervert,
at least not legally ;-)

However, if I'm not busy, I do play some of Mabe's games... interrupt
in the middle of the speel so they lose their place, or ask personal
questions or, as I did once, "You sound like a babe"... she hung up
really fast ;-)

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
