    This is one I heard a little while ago.

    "Hello?"
    *pause*
    "No, I'm sorry, he's dead."
    *click*

    I don't know if that would keep them away though. My grandma passed away five months ago, and the gov't is still sending her stuff.

    I thought about using the line that I was dead, but I was afraid that suddenly all my accounts (bank, utilities, etc.) would be closed!

    Some telemarketers aren't very smart. My daughter took a call from one. I can't remember what he was selling, but it had something to do with telephones. Anyhow, when he pitched his product, my daughter just told him, "We don't need that because we don't have a phone". The guy said, "Okay", and hung up. I wonder what he thought my daughter was talking to him on.

    These last few months our house has been bombarded with phone soliticiations (and worse yet) automatic prerecorded calls for the election that happened on Tuesday. Everytime I would get a political phone call from a real live human being the interaction would go like this:

    A.P.P.C.* : "Good Evening I'm calling about ..."

    Panache : (cutting them off) What candidate or proposition are you calling about?

    A.P.P.C. : ...Errr why I'm calling about...(politician/proposition)...and I...

    Panache : (cutting them off) Are you for or against?

    A.P.P.C. : ...err...well I'm for them. I...

    Panache : OK, thanks I have your call recorded on my chart.

    A.P.P.C. : err...what?

    Panache :You see I vote based on who annoys me least. I keep a record of all the calls I get. The proponents of candidates and propositions that bug me least get my vote. Congratulations, your (candidate/proposition) is now one call closer to not getting my vote. I highly recommend you take me off your call list. Have a nice evening.

    A.P.P.C. : I ...err..um...

    Less fun, but more lucrative:

    I'm currently undefeated in small claims court against telemarketers - to the tune of mid-four-figures now.

    At $500 per violation, they tend to add up rather nicely.

    When the telemarketer calls, If the call makes it thru my screening, Caller I D, I just say, Look I'm in a hurry, could you you leave your home phone number and I'll call you at home later. I have used this many times. I usually get hung up on. but their number never shows up on caller I D again.
