Spam solicitation phone call hi-jinks

"You have been selected to receive a $500 gift certificate! Press '0' to talk to a representative."

{Presses 0}

{Insufferable muzakle interlude}

[Posh English accent]: This is Charlie with Flybynight Ocean Cruises. With whom do I have the pleasure of speaking?

[Mirroring posh English accent]: Charles, could I get your last name, please?

Fuck off.

Ah, Mr. Fuckov, why are you calling a "Do Not Call" list number?

Why are you talking like a cunt?

Because I figured you'd understand me better. Looks like I was right.

ALL the time for me. He goes by the name "Hugh Janus". He is even getting mail at our business addressed to Mr. Hugh Janus. Kills me...I laugh so hard.

When they ask for my name and address, I give my name as James Orenthal and my address as 360 N Rockingham. They usually fall for it. If you don't recognize it, Google it.
