Telemarketers.
Recently ive been getting a lot of calls from telemarketers/surveyists.
i remember a few years ago there was a website (government?) that you could submit your telephone number in and telemarketers cannot call that phone number. i was wondering if any of yall have that website? thanks!

My goodness, why join that list? My most comedic moments come from when the telemarketers call. Have fun with it!

I had the pleasure of dealing with one of those fellas on the phone. I saw a stand up comedian do it, so I did the same. The call went like this:
"Hello Mr. Silva, how are you today?" "Could be better, what can I do you for?" "I have a great offer for you for a rate of xx cents per minute for any call within the US" "Oh, no thanks, I'm happy with my current service." "We also have such and such benefits, are you sure you wouldn't want to sign up with us?" "Nah, I'm fine with my current carrier" "Do you have stocks with your current long distancecarrier?" "No......" "Do you work for your long distance carrier?" "No........." "Then why wouldn't you want to switch phone carriers?" ............. ............. (at this point I switched to the I'm-gonna-mess-with-your-head mode) "Well............ why would I want to switch carriers if I'm gonna kill myself as soon as I hang up the phone?" "*gasps*..... [stuttering]uhh, sir, why wou... would you do that?" "Why? I tell you why! Cause everyone's out to get me! Everyone hates me!" "No sir! I LOVE YOU!" "You're one of them, that's why you're trying to get me to switch long distance carriers! It's all over!" "Sir, don't do it!" *Click* MCI hasn't called back ever since.

 Here's another funny exchange with a telemarketor, Seinfeld style: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61aQCQy5e6M The whole vid is funny, but if you just want to see the one part it starts 5 mins 12 seconds into it.

Unmitigated genius...I've never taken it to that extreme, but I shall certainly consider doing so in the very near future. What great comedy.
