5. Fantastic -- never thought of that

But that only works if you get a real person. A lot of the robocalls I get are recordings.

I had one call from a GOP push poll. Every question they asked, I told them what I thought of the GOP and (at that time) Bush. I even told them I thought Bush should be tried as a war criminal.

Then, the woman said she had one more question. Would I be interested in volunteering at the local GOP headquarters. Obviously, she was a hired hand, because she started laughing halfway through the question. She realized it was absurd, but she had to go through her list.

I told her -- "Not if they held a gun to my head." She completely broke up.
