   My kids actually know to tell my wife and I if we should answer the phone or not by reading the caller ID. “It’s just a Toll-free Number!” either our daughter (11) or our 2 sons (8 and 5) will call out. Yeah, our 5 year old is learning to read still, but he knows what the word Toll-free means… it means to LET IT RING! (or answer then hang up, take your pick)

   I agree…it’s been years since there was a new one but I never get tired of these. I’ve always suspected that Bill knew me when I was Calvin’s age…lol.

    I had a friend who would hand the phone to her 2-year old when it was an unwanted call and the little one would “talk” to the person!!!

    Instead of this if it is a telamarketer yell into the phone, or say random things.

    My sister had a boring receptionist job back in college, and she used to call people up at random and as soon as they answered the phone she would ask if she could put them on hold. She says a surprising number would agree, and would stay on hold for a long time.
    Of course, she’s going to Hell for this, but it’s an interesting phycological experiment.
