I've learned to hold my temper with them and instead have a little fun to
entertain myself at their expense. For female telemarketers, it goes something
like this:
"Have you ever considered that when a fraternity has a party they hire hookers
first and telemarketers last? Does that tell you where you fit in the overall
social hierarchy?"
"Ohhh! That's disgusting!"
"Does that mean you're not available?"
