Since we live off of our cell phones, I answer the home phone with "Passion Palace, how may we pleasure you?". Then they proceed to ask for a particular person...my reply is something along the lines of "No, but we do have a Cherry Pie, or Homie Stud", then it all goes downhill from there. Usually they either bust up laughing or hang up. Either way I get to have my fun

If he would have asked, I would have told him that we were using two soup cans and a long string. He didn't ask, though. Damn...

:lol: I've tried being courteous with these people, but they've got on my last nerve, and my superpowers of SPITE are getting the better of me...

why hang up on them? I just ask them "can you hold a minute?" then set the phone down..... then I might pick it up and say "hold one more minute"?

then finally I pick it up after a good 5 minutes and say "now... I've made you waste the 5 minutes you were going make me waste, do you really think you can sell something to me now?" They usually just hang up on me at that point...

but would you like to come in and hear about the word of Jesus?"... :

I'll have to remember that one
