****ed of with all these cold calls from tele-sales? Here's the answer:"Hold On, Please"Saying this while putting down your phone and walking off, instead of hanging up immediately, would make each telemarketing call so time-consuming that boiler rooms would grind to a halt. When you eventually hear the phone company's beep-beep-beep tone, you know it's time to go back and hang up your handset, which has efficiently completed its task. Oh ya beauty!!! I am 37

I always tell them I'll put them on to the householder and then pass the phone to my 3 year old boy Kane.
The call goes something like this, depending on the time of year:
Telesales "Hello, this is mastercard...." Me "Sorry, I'll put you onto the householder" at this point I hand the phone to Kane (my 3 year old boy). The conversation then proceeds:
Telesales - "Hello" Kane - "I've got a big truck" Telesales - "Pardon? You've got what?" Kane - "It's green and goes brrrrrrrrrrrrrr Vrooom" Telesales - "Eh......Is your daddy there?" Kane - "Not daddy, santa gives me big big presents, last time" Telesales - "Go and get your daddy back, that's a good boy" Kane - "brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, vroom vroom........." Telesales - "..........silence.............."
You can always blow down the phone using a Refs Whistle rendering the Telsales person deaf for the rest of her shift.....
