Re: [Simply Computers] Unwanted phone calls

 

On a Seinfeld episode, Jerry responded to a telemarketer: 'I'm busy right now, can I call you back later when you get home?' (or something like that)

After a pause (we only hear one side of the conversation): 'Oh, then you know how I feel!'

and hung up.

Apologies to Walt M. ... not exactly computer related.
