I haven't had a telemarketing call since the DO NOT CALL list went into effect, except for some politcal calls during election time (they are apparently exempt from DO NOT CALL)

Last night, though, I got a call from a little girl selling cookies. I ordered a box of cookies and made her day.

Fine, now I've laughed myself into an asthma attack! I have wrecked my makeup because I laughed so hard I'm crying. This is absolutely the funniest thing I've heard in years.

""Our junk mail has gone WAY down.""

Why would you want to do that?

We heat our entire home with it.

Not one penny for heat last Winter.

I tell them (accurately) that I am a consultant and my time/my opinion is money. Then I ask what compensation they are offering me.

A gasp usually follows and then after a pause, a click.

That could work is you could get lots of people to do it.

Sadly, we've traded credit card applications with college brochures. My son forgot to check a box or something when he took his SAT or ACT test.....

I get too much enjoyment out of mailing them back an empty envelope at their expense...

You, too?  :-)
