Talking to Telemarketers
A couple of weeks ago the phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Hi, this is John X. How're you doing? Listen, I just wanted to tell you, I'm not a telemarketer."
? "Um...that's good..."
"But I think my company can save you a lot of money on your mortgage payments."
CLICK!
Last night the phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Hi! I can help you publicize your website the right way!"
[Laughing] "Thanks, but my site is non-commercial and number one in its field."
CLICK!
I should have just hung up on that second one, but I couldn't resist the chance to boast.
