I love it when a subscription solliciter telephones me regarding a subscription to the L.A. Times. I say, "Oh, I don't make monetary contributions to any political party". There is a moment of silence and then they say, "No, this is a subscription to the L.A. Times". I then say, "Yes, I know, and if I subscribe I am just making a contribution to the Democratic party and I do not make contributions to any political party". There is another moment of silence and then they say, "Oh, OK" and hang up.
I will remember to use that next time they call.
