One day I got sick of the fax-a-marketers. I replied back to a fax with a 20" peice of black paper, taped both ends together, and let it go. It timed out after somewhere around 25 minutes.

I wonder how much ink they have left.....

Probably ran out of paper and memory. True story, when fax machines first came out with memory to pick up when paper ran out, 1 manufacturer forgot that their machine turned off when you opened it to add paper. Neglected to arrange some sort of keep-alive for the memory. Oops, ran out of paper overnite. Oh look, there are 3 faxes in memory. Replace paper, what 3 faxes in memory? John C.

I had a telemarketer call about replacing windows on my car, I asked if they did houses, they said no, so I asked if my 1968 Winnebago counted as a house or a car. The I started spewing Dimensions of every window. I then told them that I would only buy from them if the nice young boy on the phone would marry my daughter. I did all of this in a really crappy Apu style voice. Whole office was in hysterics.

Another one caught me at home, I get goig on about how I loved Pele, and that my son was trying to be as good as Pele and how I loved Portugal. Everytime time they tried to get there sales pitch in I would go off on something even more rediculous until it got to the point I had to rescue a mule from a mud pit.

I also have a MP3 player set up for my MOH, I got a recording of train whistles, leafblowers, roosters, fart noises, and anything else I could get my hands on, I set it up into a continuous 4 minute loop, Someone call asking for me I would unplug my Main MOH source and plug in the "good" one then place the caller hold forever. Someone actually stayed on for 23 minutes. I would answer in a differet voice every 5 minutes asking if tey have been helped.

Another on

Bill, you are MEAN. I love it! John C.
