Me: "Hello?"
Unnamed wretch: "Yes, Mr. Heller, I'm calling from AT&T to offer you a great new plan that will save you money on your long-distance calls. May I ask who your current long-distance carrier is?"

Me: "Well, actually, I get it through a friend."

(long pause)

Unnamed wretch: "You're not interested in saving money on your long-distance calls?"

Me: "No -- you see, he's threatened to beat my ass if I even think about changing."

Unnamed wretch (chuckling): "Why?"

Me: "Hell, I don't know -- he's just like that. I suspect no home training as a youngster."

Unnamed wretch (still chuckling): "OK, well, if you have any questions about AT&T, call 1-800-555-1234."

Me: "Fine, thanks a lot."

I will have to use that next time.

:) Somebody from the phone company called one time wanting to get me to switch to their DSL service. She asked me how I got my current Internet connection. "It's stolen," I replied. She's probably still scratching her head over that one.
