How to get rid of telephone solicitors

[valis2]

Earlier this evening my phone rang. My caller ID usually displays two lines of text, and is situated in a small nook that is a bit dark, so I can't always read what it says. When I looked, I could see only one line of text, which usually means that it's subrosax calling (it always displays "PRIVATE" when she calls).

So I answered in my usual manner, thinking it was her. "YO YO, IS THIS THE SAMSQUAMTCH? WHASSUP!" I shouted into the phone.

There was a hasty click.

Turns out it was displaying "UNAVAILABLE," not "PRIVATE," and it was most likely a sales call of some sort.

lol.

Well, it's just going to be your loss when your Giant Squid Warranty runs out because that salesperson wasn't able to sign you up for an extended policy!

I'm going to practice that line to rid myself of unwanted telemarketers though. Seems very effective.

*snorts* Damn, because when those Giant Squid break down, that's the worst! Tentacles flying everywhere!!

I must admit, I had not thought of its efficacy in such situations before this, and now I'm tempted to try it more often!

*hugs*
