To: Texas Eagle
Eagle,I had a telemarketer call me once.I was sitting around the table with a few friends having an adult beverage when I took the call and she told me her name was Linda.She stated she was with xyz company and I said that's wonderful,how long have you been with them?
She stammered and said oh,about 3 months.I said well congratulations on getting your new job,are they paying you good? She said well yes,I think so.I asked her what they paid an hour and she,without hesitation,told me $7 an hour.I said hey,that's pretty good,are you full time? After one or two more questions she sat there quietly on the other end and I said ,it was a pleasure talking,good luck with your new position,and we hung up....she probably has no clue what hit her that evening.
I'd immediately make a report with the police tomorrow in case you end up with a bill.

I have to tell you what my son said to a telemarketer
He answered the phone and the guy asked for his wife, by name,
He said, I don't know where she is, she ran off with the next door neighbor and if you find her I want you to be sure and call me back. Then he hung up, he always has some darn thing to say to them.
I bought an answering machine, so I just let it take calls, and telemarketers do not leave messages.
Before I got the answering machine, my grandson in Calif called, saying he was from ATT, I hung up, He called back just laughing and said you hung up one me. Told him that is what I do to all telemarketers, all you need to hear is the silence on the other end, hang up.

I just tell them that whatever they are selling is against my religion.
My favorite was a video sales company that told me they had religous tapes for me when I said I was a devout muslim. Kinda strange, since Imams don't allow televisions.
