I get about twenty-five calls from telemarketers a day, and I'm running out of ideas with how to screw with them, so anyone got any ideas? My favorite so far is telling them my religion forbids long distance phone service. |

You should use that opportunity to test your singing skills. I'd recommend "Lost In The Supermarket". |

Or just tell them to take you off their list. They legally <i>have</i> to. I did that, and no one calls me anymore. It's beautiful  |

Jambery, that takes all the fun out of it, in fact, I take great lengths to make sure these people call me for the express purpose of screwing with them (my days are that devoid of activity). Lately, I've been trying a new one out where I tell them that I can't have a credit card since I took a shot at Gerald Ford. |

I pretend im a porn site director and they want to place an order, hearing the look of confusion when I ask if they want donkey porn is just the greatest feeling in the world. |

fake a childs voice, and when they ask if your parents are home, start crying, saying they died.
another thing to do is tell them about your day |
