"700$" No thanks, I always get more than that. ;-)

You're crude. d8-)


You should hear me tell off telemarketers. ;-)

I had one Heating A/C company call me 35 times in one week, insisting
that I needed their annual inspection service on a central air system.
(I didn't even have a window unit.) This was before the do not call
list.

The last time they called I told them that I had hundreds of retired
friends in town, and if they called me one more time that these people
would take turns tying up all of the company's phone lines with stupid
questions, and calling to have the company send their sales people out
to give estimates, with no intention of spending a dime and promised her
that it would be damn near impossible for a legitimate customer to get
through on their phone lines. She yelled, "That's harassment!" I
laughed and told her, 'Now you know how I feel.'

They never called back. Was it something I said?

That's fun, but it takes a lot of time. I just say, "Excuse me a minute,
I'll be right back." Then I put down the phone and read a book or something.
Five minutes later I just hang up the phone.

I was having fun with the young ladies from the NRA the other night, though.
I just couldn't say no in the end. d8-)
