"Hello, is Mrs. Bell there?" "No, she's dead." "Uh...oh, um..." "Would you like to speak to Mrs. Hayes?" "Sure?" "She's in BC. Guess you're stuck with me." "...uh...are you the lady of the house?" "I'm no lady!" "oh...heh...ah...well I'm calling with the blah-de-blah, and I'm wondering if I can have a few moments of your time." "Are these moments I will be able to get back later if I don't enjoy our conversation?" "...uh..." "Because, you know, my moments are precious." "Maybe I'll call back another time." "Sure! I can be a smartass WHENEVER I WANT. It might just be better if you took our number off your list." "All right then, thank you for your time." "No, thank YOU. And I keep a list, you know." "What?" "I keep a list. Of all the telemarketers I've asked to remove me from their lists." "I see." "I check it twice." "Do you?" "I do. Like Santa." "Ah. I see. Well, we'll take you off the list then." "You do that." "Have a good night." "You too! Bye!"
