oooooh, that’s a good one! Gonna try it on the next unidentified caller.

Most calls I answer in Japanese. But for those really obnoxious call from the [insert name here] Pharmacy I answer “Federal Bureau of Investigation, Fraud Division. Please hold for the next available agent.”

Brilliant! Gotta try that.

Nice one! This is why I rarely answer my phone unless I know who’s calling.

Nice one Earl !

That is the best method since Seinfeld’s method.

Jerry: Can I have your number so we can talk about this later?

Caller: We’re not allowed to do that.

Jerry: You don’t want me to call you at your home?

Caller: No.

Jerry: Now, you know how I feel.

I am so using that.

That’s hilarious. From now on, when I get an unwanted call….

Dave? Dave’s not here, mannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.

Back before we had caller ID….so we had no idea who was calling until they identified themselves…..my husband would sometimes answer the phone, “Mabel’s whorehouse, where the customer always comes first”….All I could do was pray it wasn’t my boss….

Love it! Best comic of the day!

what’s that in earl’s hand? not the one with the telephone, the other one. i thought they were extinct. wow desk phone, newspaper – i feel transported back in time :)

I use the FBI all of the time. If they don’t don’t speak English very well, I just go on and on and tell them the call is being taped and start grilling them about why they called. I ask a LOT of questions until they just hang up. I ask “how well did you know the victim? When was the last time you saw him alive? Where were you between 4 PM and 10 PM last Friday”

Going to try the whorehouse one now. And, the “You’re on the air” one.

I may be full of the devil and may greet him in person one day, but since I’ve gotten caller ID, I get more fun out of it than it’s legal to have. Presently, I’m a “harried producer” at ‘Rock 95’ asking caller #5 “what’s the secret singer is on today’s contest? GO!” And the fun begins. I may be 81 now, but that’s no sign I’m MATURE !!

If telemarketers ask if you can hear them, DON’T SAY YES! It could be the scam where they record you and use it as confirmation for something they’re selling.

LOVE IT!

I like that one. Another good one is: “Yeah, it’s me. It’s done, but there’s blood everywhere!”

I got 2 phone calls saying “Were you recently in an accident that wasn’t your fault?”

Now after reading this strip, I’m kicking myself for not saying anything witty.

I am so going to use this.

hilarious..great comments…thanks for some new ideas.

I posted this in a few FB introvert pages. They love it.

My new phone answering “Hello, Kremlin. Office of the KGB”.

Lately I’ve been getting a robocall where they claim to be from my credit card company and then tell me not to worry because there’s nothing wrong with my account, at which point I hang up because I haven’t had a credit card in over 7 years.
