I tell telemarketers that I am sooo happy they called as no one ever calls me....I start to talk about the weather, my dog, made up health problems....I tell them I am under house arrest or I am drunk...they can't hang up fast enough!

I have a friend who really gives them a hard time. He'll ask them if they've met Jesus and then ask them to pray with him or he'll tell them they sound really hot and ask what they're wearing, (he'll use that one on both women and men). If someone's over at his house he'll put the conversation on speaker phone and it's absolutely hilarious.

I announce that I am busy and ask them for their home phone
numbers so I can call them later on. Works every time.

My dad did the same thing. He was retired and had all the time in the world to screw with their heads.

Ask if they will be your friend.

As a home owner I am renting my phone line from the telephone corporation that owns the telephone line.

Since I am renting this line -- paying for it's use I tell the telemarketers NEVER TO CALL AGAIN or I will sue them for harassment and charge them $10,000 for each time they call me -- after all they are taking my time up!
