Well, apparently our phone number has finally gotten on some list that Realtors can buy for cold calling. And I'm COMPLETELY sick of it. Because they're suddenly calling a zillion times a day. No, really, there have been 12 calls from Realtors in one day, from 7 to 5. Half of them ask for Mr. Jones, another half ask if Hayley Jones lives here (I always say no), and the other half (...add that up...) are confused when I answer, "This is Garrett." because this number is my home office line. And I'm annoyed, because it IS my home office line, and I don't need the constant interruptions, especially when I'm about to make my third conference call of the day!
I put our number on the DNC registry now, so don't worry. But in the interim, it's going to be annoying, getting all these calls. Anyone got any funny ways I can answer when a Realtor calls me? I'm all for messing with cold callers.

wait, why no snowflakes and telephones? :) hehehe. it did take a while for me to figure that one out.
you smoke cracker, you.
i think you should answer the phone barking. cause if one of those sonsabitches wakes me up... so help me. between the realtors and the 417-7007 ass - i'm ready for phones to be all turned off!
When I was a kid I used to fake cry and tell them my parents were dead. It was cruel - but they took me off the list...
When I was little and those pesky cold callers would get me on the line, they would ask for my mom and I would say something to the effect of, "I am not allowed to give my mom the phone if this is a solicitor, so what do you want cause I don't have any more bleach to clean up the blood?!?"
