I've got to wipe a tear from my eye.
I like my water with hops, malt, hops, yeast, and hops.

I've called back tele-marketers before with custom made text-to-speach messages.

"This is a pre-recorded message to inform you what a big **** you are for calling me"

or something of the like. Not as funny but still amusing to me.

On a related note, Jehova's Witnesses showed up at my door just now. I'm wearing my Iron Maiden "Number of the Beast" shirt. They took one look and you could see the look on their faces they knew I was going to shoo them away

You need his voice to pull this off. I'm betting not a one of us sounds like a local police officer.

Well, the other problem is that, at least in my experience anyway, telemarketers never call in person. Every time I get a telemarketing call, it's some kind of pre-recorded thing that lets you press 1 to talk to a live operator as soon as it's finished its sales pitch. And of course, if you do that and talk to a human, they're trained to instantly hang up on you if you do anything strange, or if you politely ask to be removed from the list (argh!).

there is an fcc do-not-call list for the americans. I did that and get zero calls. Only thing they can't stop are the occasional charity or political call

Doesn't work. I've been on the "Do not call" list for months, and I still get tons of telemarketing calls. And if I press "1" and try to remind them that I am on the "Do not call" list, they just hang up before I can even finish the sentence.
