They can be fun if your really bored and drunk... The reverse prank calls!

"We are calling from your credit card company to let you know about a special offer...bla, bla, life insurance, bla, bla"

"Life insurance? Really? What's that?"

"You don't know what life insurance is?"

"Not really."

"In case you die or are injured you or your family receive money"

"Wow, can I have the money before I die?"

"No, you have to die, and then your family will get the money"

"Why? I'm the one who died, besides they all hate me, and I think at least one of them is trying to kill me."

"Really, one of them is trying to kill you?"

"Yeah, it's ok though, I'm ready, got my winchester all loaded, the minute I see her she's dead. Hey, can I take out some this insurance stuff on her?"

There's some good telemarketer pranks on the net. One is to pretend you are taking the phone into the lavatory to speak while you take a dump.

"Are you a cop"

"Yes"

"Oh I hate you pigs!"

Telemarketers aren't so much to blame as your #&*@ neighbor who buys the stuff, does making it a profitable business.

That's like saying it isn't drug dealers' fault that they sell drugs. THEY made the decision to...

This assumes you think they are worth the time. My old roomie used to mess with telemarketers, but I thought he was a loser for not having something better to do.

I never get telemarketer calls.

My step-dad used to feign interest for the entire spiel, and then say no and hang up at the end.
