Don't you just love them? That phone call that arrives just as you put your dinner on the plate, nice and warm, just the way you like it. Usually someone trying to get your opinion on something, trying to raise money for a cause, or the Political Call on behalf of a candidate.
I got one of the "Political Calls" just before my dinner tonite. The caller addressed me by a name I put out in certain places so I can identify the solicitor (I am known by a nickname by all my friends and family) so I knew I was going to dump him real quick. His opening statement was "Hi, I'm (I forget his name) and I'm a Community Organizer for Patty Murray". That was all it took. I couldn't control myself as he used two of the most despised names in my house. "Community Organizer" (remind you of anyone?) and "Patty Murray" (the elf in tennis shoes). I didn't even wait for his pitch. I merely said "You've got to be e'ffin' stupid to be calling THIS house" and hung up.
How about the rest of you out there? Any cute quips or lines you use on these idiots?
