Ah, yes, phone solicitors ... hate em!! Try owning a business - I get SO many obnoxious phone calls!

I am to the point that I just have fun toying with them now. I have a line for all of them ... if they are selling newpapers or magazines, I tell them I'd love to have a subscription, but could they please send me the braille edition, because I am blind. ;-)

Sometimes I pretend I don't speak English.

I have told them I am in the process of selling all my worldly possessions and joining a convent, and that I would be happy to have some of the "sisters" come speak to them about the eternal damnation of their souls, if they would be so kind as to give me their address.

I have told phone solicitors that I died before, too. Hee hee hee. When they ask for me, and mis-pronounce my name, I just say, "Oh, are you calling from the funeral home?" When they stammer I say, "Oh, no! You didn't hear about the accident?!" and I start to sob hysterically. Trust me, NOTHING makes them leave you alone but death!

Some days, if it weren't for cheap thrills .....
