Here is a transcript of an actual phone call at my house this afternoon. This totally cracked me up.

Ring Ring!
Me: "Hello?"
Phone: Telltale pause, then chattering in the background.
Me (thinking): "Shoot. I shouldn't have answered."
Telemarketer (thickly accented): "Hello? Is Mr. Unintelligible Name there?"
Me: "No, he's not here right now."
Telemarketer: "Is Mrs. Unintelligible Name there?"
Me: "Yes, this is she. But.....you know....I really don't want anything from anyone right now. Sorry!"
Telemarketer (without even pausing): "OK, well if you have any questions about today's phone call, please dial 1-888-485-0975."
Me: "Thanks and have a good night."
Click.
That is the actual number they gave me. And now, I'm half tempted now to call and see what they were selling.
