Rule # 1. Never even pick up the phone when it says "unknown number."
Rule # 2. If it's a female telemarketer ask her what she's wearing as you're naked. Guarantee you the next thing you will hear is a click.
Rule # 3. If a telemarketer wants to sell you siding tell him that would look ugly on you log home. (True in my case).
Rule # 4. If Jehovah Witnesses comes to your door ask them if they would be willing to convert to your religion.
Rule # 5. If someone is asking for a donation ask them if they will donate to you a lesser amount. Tell them they'd still come out ahead.
You know Cecil I have found that a hybrid of rules 2 and 4 is a very effective way to deal with people wanting to "sell" you their religion, just make sure it is not cold out.
