Nice. Amusing to read a few comments from telemarketers on that one, complaining about customers wasting their time like that.

Hello? Who's wasting whose time? I believe that telemarketing, even for charities, is a blight on society. I wish there was some way I could charge the telemarketer per minute, for wasting my time.

I used to get tons of telemarketing phone calls. Once I placed our numbers on the "do not call" list, they pretty much stopped. The only problem is that now that we run our business out of our home, the calls to our business come in (can't put business on the list), but at least those calls usually don't come in at night.

That's what caller ID is for, otherwise just pick it up and either hang up without saying anything or tell them to hold on a sec, walk away and hang up after a few minutes. I would like to have a dollar for every repair call I have had saying "You wouldn't believe what that nasty man said to me, he didn't stop for fifteen minutes!" Had to have the last word and didn't understand what say nothing and just hang up meant.

Here is what I replied:

Dear Mr. Paulson,

I'm sorry, but I must decline your kind offer.

I find that the Nigerians are much more reputable in such matters, so I will await a request from them.

I wish you the best in your efforts at a crisis.

Sincerely,

Bragg

I don't need nibbles......I crack myself up.

I appreciate you for not excoriating me for posting D&G on an internet message board. I mean, here you can say whatever you feel, and nobody thinks you are crazy. That is great. I am a people person, and on the internet, who is anybody? How do you know what a person really thinks without looking into their eyes and seeing how they react while you tell them that since 1913, this republic has been dead?

I once convinced a "black" guy that works for me that we are all still slaves. ;)

I welcome all criticisms.

I too get annoyed by telemarketers, but I try to look at it this way. At least these people are out there doing a job (one that most other people wouldn't want) instead of sitting at home and living off of the government. When I was in school I even worked as a telemarketer for a while to be able to make ends meet.

Excoriate you Bragg? Nah. Like I said in another post, you're family.......albeit the side of the family we don't let out in public too often, but family none the less.:D

This is very true. In high school, I worked at two different "professional fundraising" companies. I'd say about 90% of the workers were college/high school students looking for a good paying job ($9 starting out) with flexible hours.
