Photodude on telemarketers: “That’s why I made a choice to be on that No Call list. I made a choice about how I want the services I pay for to be used. A judge is now denying me that choice. Where do I go to sue him for the resulting loss of control over my personal property, my phone line? What is that guy’s phone number?”
It just reminds me of two of the funniest bits on Seinfeld, both of which have to do, obviously, with telemarketers.
Telemarketer: Hi. Would you be interested in switching over to TMI Long Distance service?
Seinfeld: Oh, gee, I can't talk right now. Why don't you give me your home number and I'll call you later.
Telemarketer: Uh, sorry, we're not allowed to do that.
Seinfeld: Oh, I guess you don't want people calling you at home.
Telemarketer: No.
Seinfeld: Well, now you know how I feel.
Also:
Telemarketer: Would you be interested in a subscription to the New York Times?
Seinfeld: Yes. [Slams down phone.]
