Ever hear of women's lib?
My wife is especially perturbed when they ask for the "Man of the House." So she then starts talking in hushed tones and saying, "Oh, no sir. The Master isn't here. He keeps me locked down here in the basement when he goes out, so I can't check for him now."

Call the cult
"Sorry I can't talk, I am about to cut off my tongue to achieve ultimate power."

LMAO!! (http://www.bankrate.com/nsc/news/advice/20031107a1.asp) Those 2 had me laughing Gifted. Hmmm I might give them a try next time:D... I usually just talk to telemarketers in french until they just give up and hang up. One even swore at me once and another once called me a racist name because I didn't speak english, I called her a dirty name back in english and she hung up:D... hehehe

You could always get a contract with Bun-Bun, that would sort them out.

And me thought that spam in my email box was bad...

Being telemarketeer seems such a crappy job, basically you have to sell crappy stuff to other people that is not even yours (or the profit for that matter) and you have annoy people all the time and put up with (rightfull) anger, me wonders why they still have telemarketeers, there must be some idiots that actually buy all this!!!

I used to do something similar, my junior and senior year. When the army/navy/air force and coast guard (the marines never called), called me, I'd just keep talking to the guys for as long as possible. I'd just chat with them. They would ask me things about myself, so I'd turn it around and ask them things about themselves. Once I'm pretty sure I nearly made a date with the navy guy. Hah!
