   Is this an early Calvin? It does seem unusually direct for him.

   “We are unable to take your Call at this Time, If You’re selling Anything: Press 1 and Hang up now” My parents have used that one for Years. I prefer to answer the Phone in French…Scares the bejeezus outta Telemarketers for some Reason. :-)

   Parade-ground Prussian or Japanese ought to be
   even more effective.

    Everything in Calvin’s household ignores the law of gravily: his TV, his dad’s bicycle and now his phone

    Haven’t you ever heard of a phone ringing off the hook? This one is just ringing off the table.

    Perfect, Calvin!!
    I don’t know if I’ve ever said this here, but I have the perfect cut-off for telemarketers and other unwanted calls. When they go into their spiel, you say, “Wait, wait—can I ask you a question?” When they say Yes, you say, “Did you know Jesus Christ died for your sins?”
    Silence. Silence.
    Click.
    And they don’t call back.

    I live in France, so I always answer in English. Same result.

    If I accidentally answer the phone to a telemarketer (I have an answering machine and call screen) I simply say “No, thanks.” and hang up, I don’t even wait for them to say anything. evil grin
