That was one of the best I've ever heard. I had tears in my eyes . Outstanding !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[JSCOOK]

Thats a riot .... I'll have to remember that for the next one that calls.

I have found that profanity works well. I have had a couple call backs objecting to it though.

Maybe I'm just lucky (ha!), but I haven't gotten a telemarketer call since the government made that do not call list. Not a single one.

Do you both really still get calls??

If so, I hope I didn't just jinx myself.

I let my 2 1/2 year old grandaughter answer the calls I don't recognize on the caller ID. She love to answer the phone. If you don't Identify yourself when you call, you get Tori. Don't hang up on her, she get very angry when you do.

Do a search and find Tom Mabe, this guy is a riot. He has a number of other stuff just like this. His CD is "Revenge on the Telemarketers", it is hilarious.

That's great!

That was great! My favorite came from Paul Harvey.

When that female voice wants to take a survey, tell her you will be happy to answer all her questions if she will answer one for you first. When she agrees, simply ask, "What color of panties are you wearing?"

Immediate hang up everytime.

That was a good one. I had to pass it on.

[DUD]

I am on the do not call list and it works very well for me. If I do get a call, I tell them, they hang up. Bill

This reminds me of what Mark had done a couple of times when we were getting telemarketers calling. He would let the person keep going and then when they were done he asked one man where he worked at and was told Orange County CA, then Mark asked him if he could deliver him a truck full of snow, since that was his job was driving truck and if he wanted Mark to buy his product then he had to buy a load of snow for 75,000 cash.

Then another time he asked a lady if she had a wood stove and when she answered "No" he said well then I can't deliver a cord of wood for you then so don't ask me to buy something that I can't.

And all the while I am sitting there LMAO, because he is being so serious with these people.

That was PRICELESS!!!!

The only phone I get solicitations from is one of my work cell phones. My line of business requires me to hold an insurance license in many different states. As such, marketing companies think I am an insurance agent and therefore am in need of lots of hot, fresh sales leads. Isn't it weird that the sales calls that I am getting, even though I am on the federal do no call list, are generated by companies who have bought my information from the STATE DEPARTMENT OF INSURANCE!
