Default [OT] Cold calling challenge

I am a TPS (telephone preference service) subscriber which means nobody is
supposed to phone me trying to sell the usual cr@p.
Although it works well, I am getting a lot of calls from abroad where they
cannot be held to account...however I have a new game which helps me
suppress my anger at these scumbags.
When they call, I answer their questions for about twenty seconds, then tell
them there is somebody at the door and would they hold on. I start the
stopwatch, put the phone on mute and speakerphone, get on with what I was
doing and listen for the hello, hello, are you there ? beeeeeep.
My current record stands at 4m 07seconds from (by the accent) India.
Can anyone beat it, or have a better gotcha?

Mike
