trilliumgrlI have a new game. Whenever my phone rings, I answer it using a randomly selected accent. Now keep in mind that my personal phone line is used exclusively for 'net access and long distance calls. Anyone calling in on it is either (a) looking for someone else, or (b) a salesperson. Hence I feel a need to screw with these people. It's a waaaaay funny game, since people get very confused when a Brit, or a Spanish speaker answers the phone. tehehehe

"Digigadget Corporation."

It's great. Stops anyone right in their tracks. Especially salespeople.

So if it was a different ring, we'd know it was a telemarketer or a bill collector for someone else. I took to answering it along the lines of, "Ooooh, what are you wearing..."
I got the coolest responses on that. Someone called me a sicko; and one telemarketer told me what he was wearing, then tried to sell me something.
