Get a random phone call.
"Hi. This is xxxxxx. I'm a reporter with Channel 5 news...."
My first thought was "Oh shit... I wonder what hell I did.... " :rotf: :rotf:

Maybe a little.
I'm sane, so my first reaction would have beeen, "What the hell do YOU want?"
:p

Did they want to know how it felt to win the lottery? :popcorn:

My standard answer..."No, I'm not interested." hangup.

"Channel what? Is that a television company? I don't own a television machine." :click:

I usually answer my phone with a gag line (presently "Kahleeds Camel Repair"). If the caller tells me to go get stuffed - I know it's a friend.
Most telemarketers and assorted other telespammers clearly decide it's going to be one of "those" calls so disconnect at that point as I get a lot more disconnections than I get told to get stuffed.

I sometimes say "Domino's pizza, may I take your order?" If it's a friend or family, they start their order...if not...I get a pause and then a "click".

Sometimes I say "Thank you for choosing AT&T". Even more fun (since I live in CA) is answering "hola?'

Usually I answer with "Mort's Mortuary; you stab 'em, we slab 'em. Would you like to hear about our group rates? " Or, occasionally, a simple "Yes, Commissioner?", in my very best Adam West impersonation.

Once I answered the phone with, "NORAD Missile Launch Command, understand launch is a GO!"
Dad wasn't too happy about that one.
