I believe Terry is a fellow Blues Brothers fan ;D

Quite correct, cobber!  ;D

just curious Terry are you bored and looking for a laugh or do you reaaaaalllly relate Illinoisians to Nazis?   :-\

Nah, I just like the Blues Brothers, ha ha! ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Also, if you want to waste some time, but really have fun, you can turn the tables on the telemarketer:

Telemarketer Counter Script

Telemarketers use scripts.  Why not use your own?  Does your telemarketer have good dental coverage?  Even if you won't use the Telemarketer Counter Script, check it out.  It's a hoot.


Oh my word, Burmashave, I just used this counterscript on a telemarketer, it was hilarious!  He opened right up and started talking.  I don't think he knew what hit him!!!
He was apprehensive at the first question "how do I spell your name" but I just moved on in the easy to follow script.  It was a hoot!  I had total control over the conversation!  :D He makes $9.75/hour occasionally bothering someone like me! Doesn't like his job, uses Colgate Total toothpaste, what a riot! :D ;D :D
Thanks for that link.

I believe the holiday in question refers to my upcoming birthday.
They like me. ;D

I usually just tell telemaketers I don't have no money me. They quickly hang up.
peace,

My standard answer for telemarketers is:

"It's who?......oh thank God..I thought it was the collection agency calling"
