If you can't beat, outsmart them

   



     When you get a telemarketer on the phone just answer, "Hello, you're on the air." See how fast they hang up!

P.S.
     I also have tried "babbling" into the phone with just enough words that they were unsure of what I was saying.  They would ask me to repeat what I said and then I would babble in a different dialect.  This is what happens when you are retired and have too much time on your hands.  And I don't have my younger brother around anymore to torment.
