It very funny, now I'll warn you that there is minor corse language, not really much though.

Have a good laugh

That guy has a whole series of CD's with similar assaults on telemarketers... Very funny stuff.

I hate having my dinner interrupted as much as the next person, but I try to keep in mind that the caller is some minimum-wage serf in a phone boiler-room, trying to earn a living, probably supporting a family on two jobs. (Welcome to the neo-con future...)
Now if I could get the phone number of the rich SOB CEO who organized the 'marketing plan', it would be a different story......

well Hesh, I'd like to know your secret. (besides calling the DMA) Calling again? And writing again? I'd like to whittle it down even further to recieve NO calls. especially on my business line!

Gawd, I love that link!

My experience with the national "do not call" list is that it's pretty much a joke. After signing up, it helped quite a bit, but did not eliminate the problem.

So I let the answering machine pickup, and I screen ALL my calls. But just to be a little sneaky with the telemarketers who do call, I've crafted a message that catches a lot of them. It goes kinda like this:

"Hello?" . . . about a 3 second pause -- enough to get them to start talking, then . . . "If you're a telemarketer, take this number off your call list. Otherwise, state your name and business after the tone."

Everybody I know knows I screen my calls and they know that once they start talking, if I'm around I'll pick up.

Best,

Michael
