girl on phoneWhen telemarketers call me —

I just tell them I do whatever they are trying to sell.

Telemarketer : Hi, we would like to give you a free photo session at Sears.
Me : I am a professional model.
Telemarketer : Oh.

Telemarketer : Hi, we would like to give you a free vacation.
Me : I am a professional travel guide.
Telemarketer : Oh.

That usually works.

But it is not fun.

This is fun.

    I like the Seinfeld episode where he asks the telemarketer for his home number so that he can call him back later :)

  5. When I used to do body removals and the phone would ring or the clock radio or alarm used to go off it would FREAK ME OUT.

    Which is pretty funny, when you think about it.

    Doesn’t that rock?

    Telemarketers do not call IP phones, btw. They have not figured that one out yet.

  9. i’m not sure what’s so fun about a bunch of blurry letters, with an arrow facing to the right over them, but when telemarketers call me i smack the wall, and one of the kids screams bloody murder. It only once resulted in police coming to my door, but it always results in a hangup

  19. these are the maniacs that the comedian is talking to. they probably cause half of the rush hour accidents here in town by having guys like that on during it.

  20. My husband and I practically peed our pants. I like your way, too, Max. And it’s not so involved.

    One time I told someone the person they were calling for was dead. But then I felt bad afterwards.

  21. […] know exactly what I am looking for and go find it. An old famous photograph by a photographer like Irving Penn or Alfred Eisenstaedt. Other times I just go exploring. I have a subject in mind. And I browse, […]
