We keep getting telemarketers asking for a Mrs Reynolds, and no matter how many times we've told them no such person is here and just hung up, the call kept coming with clockwork regularity....'til!
I very rarely answer the phone, but did a few weeks ago to hear this: "Hello, I would like to be speaking with Mrs Reynolds, please."
"Ah, so you're the bastard who killed my mother with harassing calls until she had a stress related stroke and died.....eh, hold on a moment!"
Without covering the mouthpiece, I have a conversation with an (imaginary) ASIO (Australian Securities & Intelligence Office) agent: "Jim, can you hear this? It's him, get on to our friends at Interpol the CIA and FBI to find where this sucker is, and his crummy organisation."
Guess what? He hung up before I could finish "sucker" We still get the occasional telemarketer who's based here in Oz (mostly trying to raise money for charity) but we've not had a single call from any of those pesky Indian ones since.
