[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 111190, member: 1991"] Star, I've come across something very similar to that before. It was actually a recording husband was sent as an attachment, I think it was an actual telemarketer recording when some poor sap rang a comedian who had his script and props all ready. It's hilarious to listen to. The set-up is, the telemarketer is made to think he has dialed into a murder scene and is now on the list of suspects. There was a MAD magazine article some years ago which showed various ways to 'play' with telemarketers. One idea was to let the baby talk to them. I like to 'play' with them too. I've had one bloke on the line for about half an hour while he tried to sell us aluminium siding. I finally asked (when I was tired and wanted to finish the call), "But how do you attach it to a double brick house?" Asking for their home phone number so you can call them back is usually the best option. When they refuse, you ask why. When they say, "Because I don't want people calling me at all hours at home..." you have your answer ready. "Well, neither do I!" Marg [/QUOTE]
