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 ;-)

Years ago, before we could register to not be pestered by these calls. I
caused a telesales girl to break down in tears. Helped no end by an
inventive sob story and backed up with lie after lie in support of it.
I'm still truly, deeply ashamed of what I did. Perhaps moreso I glimpsed a
bit of myself I really didn't like. After that episode I resolved just to
offer the usual, curt, "*** off" before hanging up.
