Hold the line a minute, please....

Telemarketers
I rarely get irratated. But a few things can get me steamed.
One thing is a stranger calling my home trying to sell me something.
Now, I use a technique I learned from one of those forwarded emails
(which is another thing that works me up - but that's another story).
Anyway, this email contained ideas for handling telemarketers
as suggested by Andy Rooney, an American TV curmudgeon.
Rooney suggests using five magic words, "Hold on a minute, please".
You then put the phone down and continue whatever you were doing.
In a little while you will hear the rapid beeps as
your phone signals that it is connected to a dead line.
