I got a call from a tele-marketer the other day looking to sell me a subscription to the Times. When I told him that was not interested, he asked me what I though of the Times. I almost started to actually tell him, but then decided that it wasn't worth ruining this poor guy's day.

What a waste of dead trees.

I got a call from a tele-marketer the other day looking to sell me a subscription to the Times. When I told him that was not interested, he asked me what I though of the Times. I almost started to actually tell him, but then decided that it wasn't worth ruining this poor guy's day. What a waste of dead trees.

I got a similar call a few months ago while visiting my family back home in Tulsa. I told the caller that I wouldn't even use the Times to wrap fishguts in as it would be totally insulting to the fish. He was really flustered by my response.
