Wanna play the telemarketer game?
My buddy RT over at Untwisted Vortex posted a joke a bit ago about how a man dealt with a telemarketer that called his home. In his post RT supplied the link to their site: identafone. I went to their site and they had a link to a very cool game that can be used to deal with those annoying telemarketing calls you get at supper or during sex (please tell me you do NOT stop to answer the phone). So check it and play: The telemarketer game.






I knew a guy who would try to keep the telemarketer on the phone as long as possible, using the theory that the longer he talks to them, the less sales they make. He talked to one gal and started asking her questions about the product, then asking about her “You have a nice voice. Where are you calling from?” After about 20 minutes, he got a bunch of information from her like her name and age. He found out she was married, but wasn’t really happy with her husband and wouldn’t mind an affair.
When I have the time, I like to listen to their whole spiel and then explain to them why their product wouldn’t be good for me. I had a long distance company on the phone for 20 minutes, talked to their supervisor and in the end, the supervisor had to agree that I would be spending more money by switching.
LOL…that is a good one Alan. I know someone that when they get a call from the telemarketers they just lay the phone down when they start talking and walk away. They do not hang up they just lay the phone down. Becky can correct me if I am wrong but I think that it is her step dad that does that..though I cannot recall lol
[...] blogs? Does it bother you to view nudity or sex? If it does, you need to stay away from The Sanctuary. Justin (aka Sirrion) posts a lot of adult pictures on his blog. It’s not all about that, [...]

Yes, it was he that first told me about it. He justs says hello and then “Can you hang on for just a minute?” And doesn’t picks the phone back up for 10 minutes or so. They, of course, have hung up.
I usually just say: “I’m sorry, I’m not interested!” and then hang up..I don’t even let them get the “But, ma’am…” out and I’m gone!
But, this looks like more fun. Unfortunately, since we don’t have a land line but just the cells…no telemarketers call anymore. I’m all tore up doncha know
