Carolina Memorial Gardens wants to sell me a grave plot. I thinkin they goina need it they wake too many up from their Sunday naps

Telemarketers can be fun if you keep in mind you don't have to talk about what THEY want to talk about.  This is actually made much easier because these days the telemarketers seem to want to ask "How are you today?" or some variation thereof, which gives you a magnificent opportunity.

"Hello?"
"Hi, is this Isaac?"
"Yeah." 
"How are you today?"
"Well I just got back from the doctor and personally I don't think he knows what he's talking about cause he said I need to stop taking them sleeping pills cause I'd get addicted to them, which I told him that's crazy, I've been taking them for 20 years, and he said I need to stop eating so much meat and starch and fat so I told him about my grandpa who ate about half a pound of bacon almost every day for breakfast and he lived to 93 so the doctor said that was one of them an-om-o-lies, but all my family been like that which the doctor said pointed to good genes, but our jeans are blue just like everyone else's.  Well it's been nice talking to you, bye."

Never did find out what the poor guy wanted.

the national do not call list works wonders, haven't got those calls in a couple of years now

[Tricia Lea]

well we are on it. not sure if its cause its a local company they dont have to use it or what

[Babs]

well we are on it. not sure if its cause its a local company they dont have to use it or what

legally if you tell them (it has to come from the person that they are calling by name) if its a guy and ur hubby is not there, let brandon say he is the guy, but you have to say yes you are who they are calling then say "remove me from your call list, i am on the national do not call list"

if you say that phrase, then by law they have to remove you. afterwards if you get further calls, you can file a complaint with the dnc list people.

if i am not mistaken only non-profits are exempt from the dnc list

[Lynx]

Non-profits are all we get calling these days.  Actually... I kind of miss it.  Marvelous opportunities for fun you can have with telemarketers.

"Hello?"
"Hello, is this Isaac?"
(in a little kid voice) "I know a secret."
"What?"
"I know a secret.  Grandma's in the attic."
"Um... is your daddy at home, can I talk to him?"
"Daddy said she fell in the river, and the insurance man gave him a lot of money, but she's in the attic."

I felt really bad after that one... I don't think I'll use it again.










(No I never really did that.  I've wanted to sometimes though.)

[Tricia Lea]

I would love to do a prank answer to those calls but I never have the nerve lol

[Babs]

i worked as one of "them" and we were a hated lot lol so i just keep my name on the dnc because i always feel sorry for the poor caller, for them its a job and a way to keep food on the table. not an easy job at all, i think i would have rathered dig ditches lol
