Dear telemarketers...

If you call our house, we will put my dad on the phone. Trust me, you don't want us to do that. He will question at length on whatever you are selling. And when I say "at length" I mean at least twenty minutes of all the quailfying criteria on your "special deal" along with any variations on said deal you are offering. He will get confused halfway through and make you start over. He will ask you obscure questions that require asking three other people on your end of the phone. And when he is done taking as much time as ten other customers, he will ask you to arrange to send it in writing to him and say he has to talk to his wife before he can agree. So can he have a number to reach you after he does all that?
